What do we call « Zen » ?
Zen is placing your hand on the wood, the carpet, resting your eyes on the candle, inhaling the incense,
tapping the bowl three times from the edge of the seat, sharing a meal…
What we call Zen is touching the grain of life.
Touching the grain of life is life.
But where have you been until now?

What you describe is nothing more than becoming aware of life.
Rather than being wrapped up, and lost, in all that life seems to be.
The saying is: « Can’t see the wood for the trees. »
