FORGET GOING OR COMING. WE ARE JUST WHERE WE BELONG

Most of our lives feel like a journey, where we go from here to there, focusing upon our destination, hoping it will be wonderful when we arrive.  There's a direction we're headed in and without a direction we can feel lost. The world  can seem anchorless or even meaningless and chaotic.   Zen practice goes a different way. The circle is a a deep expression of Zen, where at every point we are just where we belong.  Even though it may look as though we are going around and around in circles, Life itself has a greater intelligence and pattern which works itself through us.  No need to come and go frantically. Life places us just where we belong. As we sit still in the midst of all wanderings, no only do we become planted, but all of a sudden can see where we're truly headed and where we've come from.
