"The only Zen you can find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there." ••Robert M. Pirsig

 “Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind.

Be led by the dreams in your heart.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
.

The Tao doesn't come and go.
It is always present everywhere,
just like the sky.
If your mind is clouded,
you won't see it,
but that doesn't mean
it isn't there.
All misery is created
by the activity of the mind.
Can you let go of words and ideas,
attitudes, and expectations?
If so, then the Tao will loom into view.
Can you be still and look inside?
If so, then you will see that the truth
is always available, always responsive
~ Lao Tzu
