It’s in the moment.

One of the things about Zazen meditation, is you’re not really supposed to do it for a reason, you do it for it’s own sake. When you actually stop and think about it, that’s a far more balanced approach. Imagine doing the taji from with the intent solely of completing the form, that’s to miss the point, the magic of the form is in doing it! Even with gym work, the treasures are found along the way, in each rep, not at the end of it.

I find it increasingly strange the way we do this, focus on the future and the destination, ignoring the moment, then we wonder where all the time has gone. As if we’re travelling our lives, but not living them. Does anyone else feel like this?
