Soon to be finished

I will have what I feel is the conclusion of "Lessons on Fear" posted tomorrow. I got side-swipped by a situation last night and could not seem to come to a focus on the time. In the mean time, I will share this thought with you.

"For the ordinary person, whose mind is a checkerboard of crisscrossing reflections, opinions and prejudices, bare attention is virtually impossible; their life is thus centered not in reality itself but in their ideas of it. By focusing the mind wholly on each object and every action, Zazen strips it of extraneous thoughts and allows us to enter into a full report with life."
