“The quiet, empty space of zazen [meditation] reveals the mind’s addiction to imagining the future and reminiscing about the past. It helps us understand how dwelling in a time other than the present starts to churn the ego: anxieties arise, desires become distractions, and to do things well is nearly impossible. But when there is no idea of time, there are no expectations, and desires do not become a problem.”

“Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.”

“Be still when you have nothing to say, but when genuine passion moves you, say what you’ve got to say, and say it hot.”
