shifting..........................

 

     Do we live in a profane world, or do we say, "Yes, indeed, sacred space is right here"? Where are we?  Awakening the mind that seeks the way to learn, to grow, to study, to investigate, already we are shifting into sacred space.  Something could come through us.

     Instead of aiming to go somewhere else, where everything is so much better, the Zen imperative is to recognize that the sacred is here by practicing, living, cooking in the way of sacred space.
