Taking the Path of Zen: When Sitting is not Sitting: The Art of opening to Silence and Stillness'Falling in Love with the World and All that is in it'
Practicing zazen meditation is to sit with yourself and to appreciate a deeper connection with yourself, others and mystery.
We create space to receive stillness and presence right in the midst of our many stories and imaginations about whatever is happening in the world. In this way we begin to see a path to live our life as a blessing, open to surprise moment after moment.
