"To find the meaning of our effort is to find the original source of our effort. We should not be concerned about the result of our effort before we know its origin."--Shunryu Suzuki
There is a certain danger in education. In American society, many people are educated. We have specialists, pundits, loud mouths and know-it-alls.
But, perhaps, the best way to obtain wisdom is not to gather knowledge from books. Perhaps the best way is to let go all you have learned and to discover something new and different in each moment.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few.
