Before a person studies Zen, mountains are mountains and waters are waters;
After a first glimpse into the truth of Zen, mountains are no longer mountains and waters are not waters;
After enlightenment, mountains are once again mountains and waters once again waters.
Text: Dogen
I like this - quite a bit. I think I'm on the right track. But if only I could find 'em mountains and waters...
I hope everyone is having a good Monday.

Silly, you can't see the mountains or the water because of the smog! Heheheheh.

I'm sure you'll find those mountains and water. Sometimes the journey isn't quite what you expected, but that's the beauty and mystery of life. You deserve the best buddy!

I have to think about this.
I spent some time at a new age festival this weekend and hung out with some psychics on Sunday --- and was told I needed to get into mediation. I am thinking about it.
I'm just so hyper.
