Zen Reading of the Day

a moment of pause... a moment of tranquility... a moment of reflection... And, of course, a moment of rudeness, just to finish it off.

Mild-mannered by day, even more mild-mannered by night. On the weekends, so mild-mannered that I lose muscle-tone.

Welcome...

I have a book that I keep near my desk called The Little Zen Companion. (I’m not making this up; it’s a real book.) I flip through it from time to time. I’ll read a passage and reflect on the wisdom I encounter. Sometimes the thought will elevate to another plane, and sometimes not.

(This all sounds wonderfully deep until you realize that I could retype the last couple of sentences and replace “reading Zen passages” with “shifting in my seat because my shorts are binding” without losing much in the transition.)

And since my mission in life is to help ease your stressful burdens (which is only technically true if we agree that “mission” can mean “thing I do when I get bored”), I thought I would share with you some of the wisdom I find in this book.

Enjoy...

PS From time to time, I will go off topic. That's part of the beauty of Zen readings--they cover a lot of ground...
