Let us speak of many things including daylight, Zen, and time. As we go later in the year we experience time passing as the days grow shorter. Still there is always time for reflection; so reflect we shall.
“In grade school you are taught about ‘Daylight Savings Time.’
You ‘spring forward and fall back.’
Supposedly, Daylight Savings Time ends in November. Maybe.
Who reset the clocks before man appeared on the scene?”
~~ME
“When you argue, you assert.
Assertion is violence, aggression, and the truth cannot be known by an aggressive mind, the truth cannot be discovered by violence.”
~~Osho
“My mind wll not experience peace if it fosters painful thoughts of hatred.”
~~Shantideva
“To the question ‘What must I do to free myself?’
Zen replies: ‘There is nothing you need to do since you have never been enslaved and since there is nothing in reality from which you can free yourself.'”
~~Hubert Benoit
“What is life but the flower or the fruit which falls when ripe,
but yet which ever fears the untimely frost.”
~~The Dhammapada
“There is no need to go searching for a remedy for the evils of time. The remedy already exists– it is the gift to one’s self to those who have fallen so low that even hope fails them.
Open wide your heart.”
~~Rene Bazin
“In happy hours, when the imagination wakes like a wind at midnight, and the soul trembles in all its leaves,
it is a joy to be uplifted on its wings,
and listen to the prophetic voices in the air that call us onward.”
~~Henry Wordsworth Longfellow
“Everything flows, nothing stays still.”
~~Heraclitus
“He that cannot forgive others,
breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself;
for every man needs to be forgiven.”
~~Lord Herbert
May you find peace.
