Every time is a good time..

The priest Wumen once wrote, 'A hundred flowers blossom in spring, the moon shines in autumn, there is a fresh breeze in summer, and there is snow in winter. If your mind isn’t occupied with trivial matters, every time is a good time.' Harada Sekkei Roshi, "Zen Basics"

How we see the world around us inevitably influences how we respond. If we see the Creator in everything and recognize our connection with the Divine, then we can only look at the world around us with wonder and in love. Even when this worldly reality deals us difficulty, pain and sorrow, we can develop the capacity to create something beautiful even in the chaos and difficulty. It is our way of seeing that informs our perception of reality.
