There was one year l...It is pretty cool, actually. There was one year long time ago when I said to myself, "Ah, the leaves can wait another day," because I didn't feel like raking them then. Another day turned into another four months. Maybe something like this has happened to you, too.<br /><br />You see, it's not about when the leaves are or are not on the ground; it's about whether I'm going to rake them when it's time to rake them. So I still stand by "I know when to rake leaves" as an outgrowth of Zen practice. Yep, no question about that one.Shodhinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05435146941696118225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978755924032340123.post-5424106132100100422011-11-25T10:58:36.546-06:002011-11-25T10:58:36.546-06:00that's pretty cool about learning when to rake...that's pretty cool about learning when to rake leaves from zen. i can never figure it out & get weird looks when i go out to rake leaves in the wrong time of the year, aka mid-july or at midnight in the middle of february. people keep telling me autumn but sometimes when i go outside there aren't any leaves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
