IT'S ALREADY HERE

Zen Wisdom for Your Everyday Life

So many of us become distraught, thinking that life is brief and that we must hold onto what we have strongly. The fear of loss and change, along with a sense of failure can haunt our entire lives. It seems as if we've missed the mark, as life keeps turning around and aruond and we cannot control any of it. What we do not realize is that everything is already here. Everything comes and everything goes, and at the same time, nothing leaves at all. When we depend upon appearances, we are confused and saddened. It looks one way, and we react to that, rather than go deeper and find the place within ourselves and others where we are all together forever. Whether we see the person or not, where can they go? What we see is only the outer display, a set of clothes. What we feel, what we know intuitively is where our true connection lay. As we sit, we learn to receive all of life fully, not depending upon anything that seems external, but finding our root within.
