the tree of life

Comment by Michael Grove on September 19, 2012 at 17:14

  "ZEN teaches that our approach to today determines our whole approach to life.

   The Japanese call this attitude Ichi-nichi issho : 'Each day is a lifetime.'

   We arise in the morning newly born.

   As we pass through the day, we age and gain experience.

   When we tire at day's end, we 'die' and take our rest. 

   That one arc serves as a miniature of our entire life."

- ZEN 24/7
