Stop dwelling on passing days, months and years.
Look with delight in the undergrowth
where chrysanthemums bloom.
Look with delight in the undergrowth
where chrysanthemums bloom.
– Dogen Zenji
When I tell you that this ancient practice comes alive in my home, you as yet may not believe me. You may not yet believe yourself, or trust your own home.
This is how it flowers. This is how it is. This is how it has always been.
Deep love and appreciation for you on these holidays and everyday. Be of good cheer. Your life is in bloom. Just look.
The Miller Family
Thanks for that Miller Family, and the peace you spread so effortlessly.
