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

“If I were reading a book and happened to strike a wonderful passage I would close the book then and there and go for a walk. I hated the thought of coming to the end of a good book. I would tease it along, delay the inevitable as long as possible, but always, when I hit a great passage, I would stop reading immediately. Out I would go, rain, hail, snow or ice, and chew the cud.”
Henry Miller, Plexus

Ancient Garden


“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, 
not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, 
which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. 
The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. 
A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.”
― 
Séneca
