Learning is finding out what you already know
Richard Bach

Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things, but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
Author: Angelique Arnauld

Striving to better, oft we mar what's well.
Author: William Shakespeare

No good work whatever can be perfect, and the demand for perfection is always a sign of a misunderstanding of the ends of art.
Author: John Ruskin

okay, Art and perfection?
zen focus~
 
dragon of my desires,
claws of anger
eyes of lust
teeth of jealousy
smoke of wrath curls from nostrils
scales of ego.

Focus,
lucid thought
controls the beast
within





I don't remember where I read it but it goes like this:

"You must sit in meditation on a pillow
before the raging tiger"

when you have a raging tiger on your hands
meditation would be a good thing
especially if that tiger was red! (big grin) :D

You cannot control the surf, but you can ride the waves.
 
things I learned about riding the tiger...

the Seventh Stellar from the sun ... for all Seven are now in One ... we

The Emperor asked Master Gudo, "What happens to a man of enlightenment after death?"
"How should I know?" replied Gudo.

"Because you are a master," answered the Emperor.

"Yes sir," said Gudo, "but not a dead one."
 
The Boat

The Guest is inside you, and also inside me;
you know the sprout is hidden inside the seed.
We are all struggling; none of us has gone far.
Let your arrogance go, and look around inside.
The blue sky opens out farther and farther,
the daily sense of failure goes away,
the damage I have done to myself fades,
a million suns come forward with light,
when I sit firmly in that world.
I hear bells ringing that no one has shaken;
inside"love" there is more joy than we know of;
rain pours down, although the sky is clear of clouds;
there are whole rivers of light.
The universe is shot through
in all parts by a single sort of love.
How hard it is to feel that joy in all our four bodies!
Those who hope to be reasonable about it fail.
The arrogance of reason has separated us from that love.
With the word "reason" you already feel miles away.
How lucky Kabir is, that surrounded by all this joy
he sings inside his own little boat.
His poems amount to one soul meeting another.
These songs are about forgetting dying and loss.
They rise above both coming in and going out.
Kabir :rose:
 
My second Zen Retreat this weekend. My son copped out, but i had a great time. My French Girl is making me a stting cushion, and I have outfitted my new little cabin as a meditation center...or i am trying to do that anyway. (When i say little, i mean little)

The first half hour sesshin was pretty hard, the second was a bit easier, and when the third started, i just said, "I give up" and it went wonderfully. Why do we try to so hard to do that which is natural?


Struggle for peace
and become conflict's lair.
Sit and wait for peace
and know it was already there .

Like water we reach quickly and cause waves and ripples
but reach gingerly and slow and no ripples as the water envelopes and excepts the hands entry
 
Surrender

Surrender is not defeat
Lost is found when the moment appears
Time holds no essence
All is laid before us when we lay our limits upon the ground
Hard is easy
Winning is losing when we grasp the limits of thinking
Release let go
all wealth lies before those who surrender

playing

heart, our instrument
finding , the harp of spirit
intoxicates our light strings
into flight as we , addicted
to the composer want only
to become one with the symphony

Choice

Our time is limited here on this plane,
Do you want to live a life filled with chaos and destruction,
Or be remembered for one small kind gesture?

It is our choice how we live,
Our world is upside down
wrong is right and right is wrong.........
reach into yourself grasp the faith of our ancestors
Remember who and what you are

For time flies
and soon aged bones will no longer carry the burden
of a life lived in the dark........

We have the choice to live how we choose,
Feel the energy of connected souls,
grass, trees, birds, water, fish......other humans
Simplicity of quietude finds your heart
silences the mind
allows you to see the path of true living

Faith..........
When we have this miracle
No longer do we care that we are outsiders
Money all the things it can buy holds no power over us
The energy suckers cringe
and we prepare to create our world in all its glory

Hope..........
the terra of faith
dreams bud here
their roots climb in our soul
lacing the mind and heart in a strong union
that no evil can destroy

You ask were can I find these things?
Look within and see you are them
prepare your life like a grand meal
and savor all the miracles that lie before you

Step out of the norm
do not let society deem what you are
your power is greater than opinion of frightened souls
when rooted in simple living all your dreams are filled

Do not lie down with dogs of a dredging world
when on your knees let faith pull you up
You are not alone
for the dogs also want peace in their soul
we are all children lost along the way
Hold Reverence in all that is
even for the evil that swallows the light
for it is needed for us to grow..........

A little something... to follow along the path

Man's Dream

Brilliance:
the intelligence of many
held within the light of one person.

Connection:
the spiritual promise given,
to those willing to learn.

Understanding:
the feeling of truly belonging
to something bigger than us.

Conscience:
the 'something bigger' created
when understanding, connection, and brilliance merge.
