My July 6th blog post talked about breathing and meditation, and that brought you to mind, and then, not surprisingly, I pop over to see what you’ve been up to lately, and here is a post that describes the practice of practice so eloquently!

You are one of the first people that opened my eyes to the whole idea of meditation, and as I find myself on the cusp of exploring this new territory, I couldn’t help but voice my appreciation for the many ways you’ve influenced my ability to open myself to new ideas (of many shapes and sizes, including meditation).

Your “Wisdom of Mist” post has all my favorite pieces neatly tucked into one expertly constructed blog post. Great title, excellent content, fabulous photos, interesting sub-text, plenty of helpful links, and a generous dose of wisdom and humor all blended together in one happy package. Leaves me completely satiatied and hungry for more at the same time. Delicious.

Unfortunately, I think I’ve allowed myself to “dry out” lately…:)

The thing I like about Zen is that it’s very practical. I don’t “buy” anything a teacher says unless it corresponds with something I’ve actually experiences (or something I can “test” for myself). So, if Zen sounds good, try it. If it works, continue doing it. If not, all you “lost” was your time, which we waste all the time anyway.

“Taming power of the small”? Oooooh, that sounds like something right up my alley (and not just because of my height, either).

This reminds me of the I Ching’s the taming power of the small. Even mist eventually soaks through.
