Do you have the patience to wait until the mud settles and the water is clear?

Only one who bursts with
Enthusiasm do I instruct;
Only one who bubbles with
Excitement do I enlighten.
If I hold up one corner
And you do not come back
To me with the other three,
I do not continue the lesson.

I'm sure he didn't mean enthusiasm for malice, you twisted creep.

I've told people before that "you don't know me", but you really don't know me.

The art of peace begins with you.
Work on yourself and your
Appointed task in the Art of Peace.
Everyone has a spirit that
Can be refined, a body that
Can be trained in some manner,
A suitable path to follow.
You are here for no other purpose than
To realize your inner divinity and
Manifest your innate enlightenment.
Foster peace in your own life and
Then apply the art to all that you encounter.

Morehei Ueshiba (1883-1969)

You've clearly been speaking to the wrong people.

As far as inner transformation
Is concerned, there is nothing
you can do about it. You cannot
transform yourself, and you
certainly cannot transform your
partner or anyone else.

All you can do is create a space
for transformation to happen,
for grace and love to enter.

“So, there’s that little practice of letting go.

“It’s an inside joke for Zen people. Letting go. Well, everything goes. You can either let go gracefully. Or not. But the go will go.

“This is in fact the heart of our practice. It’s not zazen. It’s not koans. Yes, it is both of them. And. And. It’s really letting go.

“Letting go.”


—James Ishmael Ford Roshi

Don’t tell me how difficult the Way.
The bird’s path, winding far,
Is right before you.
Water of the Dokei Gorge,
You return to the ocean,
I to the mountain.
