horses – Notes & Silence

Sitting, On the Way to the Stable

The body in zazen is the horse that leads us back to the stable,The mind, the rider who searches but doesn’t know where he’s going,So,

Sometimes we think we have got off the horse of thoughts,In reality, we have remained stuck with one foot in the stirrup,We imagine ourselves freed

Even if the world seems to persist in doing everything to keep forgetting, the body knows the sitting posture…and as soon as it stops being led

Each name placed on an inner impression is sitting on the back of an emotional horse whose nature is much more eloquent than the name
