A rather chaotic morning has led me in search of Zen.
The only thing is, “being Zen” is not a thing. You don’t get a moment of Zen, or have a Zen attitude.
Zen is the practice of meditation, self-contemplation, and intuition. You don’t search for it or ever find it, it is a tool {also called Zen Buddhism} that leads you to enlightenment.
This school of thought asserts that it is our personal journey in this world — not faith and devotion — that lead us to a path of ultimate fulfillment.
So I’m not {i.e. TRYING VERY HARD NOT TO} spin myself around in distress anymore. Lately I’ve let things twist around inside and make me a nervous wreck. I always feel like I’m missing something or forgot something or got something wrong or whatever — to the point where my stomach is in knots.
Instead, my new approach is to clear my mind and not give a shit.
Plus as I tweeted earlier, it’s all about laugh therapy. Ha-ha-mother-fucking-HA!
