Clean Stalls, Brush Horses
Clean Stalls, Brush Horses
There is a Zen master proverb:
Before enlightenment, chop wood carry water
After enlightenment, chop wood carry water
Magical power, marvelous action!
Chopping wood, carrying water…
Seems there is a marvelous in the mundane of everyday living!
The world is vying for your thoughts, your attentions, and your resources.
Influences are around us daily about what you should be…how a person should be, but is not. How you can get there with another’s secret to success. How you will be happy if you only buy, think, or do thus and so.
In your day to day life what do you find yourself thinking about?
How does that thinking influence your attitude about your life’s perceptions?
What thinking and attitude leads you to actions?
So, there is a possibility that the art of living is the thoughts we think about the things we do. The thoughts we think about the things we have or have not done. The thoughts we think about everything.
While you chop wood and carry water throughout your day, contemplate the now. Contemplate who you really are now, what your hearts desires are now and what brings peace to your heart now. Take your thoughts, give them your energy and take an action to be the very best YOU!
