25th February

Zen abhors repetition or imitation of any kind, for it kills.
D. T. Suzuki.

To repeat or imitate something is to place a value upon it. To judge it as worthy of re-creation because one has pronounced it to be worthy of repeating.
Nature unfolds spontaneously in perfection. Another name for this is Zen. To take a past moment based on a value judgement and repeat it stops this flow. It shuts down Life.
