Zen for the day, To make your day better and more peaceful.
Silvery moon hangs high in the sky.

I ride a tiny boat in the vast and misty sea.

Moon and sea forgotten.

And before the window

I sit quiety in meditation until midnight.

Jakushitsu 1290-1368


This is very much what mysticism really is.

1. Beautiful quote.
Kind of reminds me of our connection to the Universal Consciousness, for some reason. We are each a part of it.

2. Zen has some absolutely beautiful things about it.
One of the most beautiful aspects is its utter simplicity.

4. Thanks!
St. Therese of Lisieux once talked about about herself a drop lost in
the ocean of God.
