Singleminded without purpose
Re-reading the second chapter of How to Cook your Life after an average -nothing special- zazen session I realized what goes on When a shinkantaza goes well. I’m fully engaged in keeping the posture, following the breath and so on, but I’m not looking for anything in particulat. i know, i’ve read it dozrns of times, but today, it also made some empirical sense.
The blue sky above
Let the clouds move around freely
Singleminded, yet
No purpose directs the self
Lots of thoughts cross our minds
But there’s no one to notice
