We had a two-day celebratory weekend that included the feast of St. Scholastica (sister of Benedict) and the 2019 Prophet of Peace award. Lots of visitors, prayer and song, good eats and good times. However, it limited the usual weekend "down time" quite a bit. Which got me thinking about one of my favorite Zen proverbs: "After ecstasy, the laundry."
And that led me to an old Zen proverbs and koans book I have...here are some more for your cold February Monday morning meditation!
Relax. Nothing's missing.
Rest and be kind, you don't have to prove anything.
Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.
If you are unable to find the truth right where you are,
where else do you expect it to be?
