21st February

When asked how he discilined himself in Zen, a master answered, "When I am hungry I eat, when I am tired I sleep." "But that is what everybody does," said his questioner.
"Not at all," replied the master. "When most people eat they do not eat, but think of other things; when they sleep, they do not sleep, but dream all sorts of nonsense. This is the difference."

This is the same as the previous post. We create drama around the simplist of actions which blocks the beauty of nature and the purity of the action.
