Dogen and the Zen tradition invite us to let ourselves be taught by the river, the mountain. The simple fact that the term Dharma means teaching and reality of the universe is in itself a clear invitation to calibrate in us this union universe/teaching.
This also requires a strong surge of faith. This surge is however nothing other than spiritual matter, the energy of life. This surge is the Spirit which ceases to sew us with its thread of light to reality, to creation.
Each stitch, each time it pierces our heart with the divine needle, we are sewn into the universe, connected us to our true nature.
The Spirit works ceaselessly for our great repairing.
While the forces of the ego leave us,
The Spirit sews us back into the divine heart.
The ego is a place of doing, a permanent gesticulation.
The spirit is a polarity of non-doing.
True prayer, that of celestial sewing, is not done.
It lets itself be done.

Or is it teaching the realisation that we never left that universe? We just ceased to see it?
