“if you use your mind to study reality, you won’t understand either
your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind,
you’ll understand both”
— Ummon

Sensei Ray asks "how will you study reality without using your mind"?

What We Are Seeking

People say what we're seeking is a meaning for life.
I don't think that's what we're really seeking.

A Dream of Trees

Mary Oliver's Poetry always speaks to something in me, and speaks for something in me that has no words. This one spoke to me today. 

A Dream of Trees

BY MARY OLIVER

There is a thing in me that dreamed of trees,
A quiet house, some green and modest acres
