Wanted to share a little something...

Reading several threads this morning and this popped into my head.

It kind of ties into letting go and letting god and detachment.

“Sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.” – Zen Saying

Take what you want and leave the rest.

Good one. I am amazed at how easily life goes on without my help! ; )

Thank you M1k3.

Why is it that this:

sounds so much easier to do than "Let go and let god?" Kind of a rhetorical question - I have my theories, main one being that I appear to still have trust issues with my HP...

The more I read about Buddhism and Zen and/or quotes, the more I'm drawn to it.

I love the quote Mike. I'm totally stealing it and putting it on my wall

I don't know about your background, if you were raised in a specific religion or not. But maybe it's not trust issues with your HP so much as not believing the dogma and theology unconditionally. As I've grown older, I've taken the things from all sorts of religions that resonate with me because I'm a questioner...big time.

I like this quote too...it is very simple and pure.

I love Zen!! thanks for this quote.

It is a real gift to be able to acknowledge the beauty of nature. I have noticed not many take notice of a bird chirping, summer breeze in the afternoon, wonderful green shades, colorful flowers... many are stuck in their belongings, fights, drama, status, paycheck...addictions...
