let go of ambitions and fears

 

Desire and mistrust

keep you from finding ease.

courage is the measure

ieshia evans

 

Courage

is the measure

of our heartfelt participation

with life, with another, with a community,

a work; a future. To be courageous is not necessarily

to go anywhere or do anything except to make conscious those

things we already feel deeply and then to live through the unending

vulnerabilities of those consequences. To be courageous is to seat

our feelings deeply in the body and in the world: to live up to

and into the necessities of relationships that often already

exist, with things we find we already care deeply

about: with a person, a future, a possibility

in society, or with an unknown that

begs us on and always has

begged us on.

 

David Whyte

silent

 

Transmission outside doctrine,

no dependencies on words.

Pointing directly at the mind,

thus seeing oneself truly,

attaining buddhahood.

 

Bodhidharma

 

🐞

 

Talking: seven steps, eight falls.

Silent: tripping once, twice.

Zennists everywhere, 

sit, let the mind be.
