Belonging: Random Tidbits

Cooking

It’s remarkable how pleasurable it can be to simply feel the knife gliding through the vegetables I am slicing to put into my stew. I never seem to tire of or cease to be amazed by the new shapes that emerge from the encounter between knife and vegetables as I cut them up.


Urban Buddhas

One evening, I went out on my balcony and sat in a chair to meditate. I had this most wondrous experience of feeling as if the skyscrapers, with their yellow lights glowing in the night, were like golden Buddhas, sitting right along with me.


Mind-body Connection

The body may follow the mind,
But I find the reverse is also true;
If you can get the body going,
the mind usually follows.
