Zen

Zen is a matter of character, not a matter of intellect.

~ D. T. Suzuki

I have a a book of Zen stories that I am reading. I read a few every so often. I don't understand a lot of them. Some I understand for a second and then I don't understand them again.

I'd like to be Zen. Or achieve Zen.

I called this blog "Realizing Zen" because I don't think you get Zen through work, but by not working at it. But you still have to think about the fact that you're not thinking about it.

You have to just let it come to you, I guess.

I don't now. Whatever it is, I'm still trying to understand or to let go of understanding so that I get there. 

One day maybe it will happen. That will be amaZEN.
