The sweet simplicity of not-knowing

"Zen is not some fancy,

special art of living,

Our teaching is just to

live always in reality,

in its exact sense."

Shunryu Suzuki

 

"If you realize that you have

enough, you are truly rich."

Lao Tsu (From the Tao Te Ching)

 

 

 

Behind the beliefs of mind

 

 boundless freedom is here to find

 

 In the humble soil of not- knowing

 

 the rose of wisdom is growing

 

 Resistance to "what is"

 

 cease in natural

 

 ease full of timeless peace

 

 The  wild beauty of existence

 

 blooms in the garden of joy

 

 Sweet simplicity sings

 

 as pure life itself

 

 nothing 

 

 to say

 

 only 

 

 be
