…If Zen
If . . . . what . . .?
If essence of zen
Is breath
If SpIrIt of Zen
Is breath of Heaven
If silence
Is the way
we find the way
to be
with
our eternal being nature
If training
the body and mind
to sit still
Is the way we do this,
being grounded
here, now
If words
are
not the way
to sort out
our Internal wars
and
struggles.
.
Because
.
the universe
.
has
.
Its own language
.
.
.
If being still
In silence
at the centre
of existence,
breathing
In life patterns
Is the way
to
Inner freedom
If the way
we do this
Is with practice
If this
Is the “answer” . . .

What
