The Magic of the Cities.

Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

No More Roads



Encounter
We were riding through frozen fields in a wagon at dawn.
A red wing rose in the darkness.

And suddenly a hare ran across the road.
One of us pointed to it with his hand.

That was long ago. Today neither of them is alive,
Not the hare, nor the man who made the gesture.

O my love, where are they, where are they going
The flash of a hand, streak of movement, rustle of pebbles.
I ask not out of sorrow, but in wonder. 
Czeslaw Milosz

Quieting The Mind






Picasso once said that it took him four years to paint like Raphael, but it took him a lifetime to paint like a child.
To see things in their original beauty, we must crack the shell of preconceptions with which adults are saddled.
 Zen has little to do with ideas, and its masters consistently point to the concrete. 
We are surrounded by magic. 
We literally have to go nowhere.
John Greer
