A Zen life is not just a Zen life.

Moving through life, closes it.
What is sought for, is not found.
Moving with life, opens a way.
What is not sought for, is found.

A deadened branch is still alive.
A flowering flower is not yet dead.
Doing nothing, recreates it all.
Love flows within all, all by itself.

The best Zen is your own Zen.
Our hearts open all the doors.
Our minds must enter through.
Love more to improve on love.

Zen completes, drop by drop.
Allow your jug to be emptied.
We see our reflection in Zen,
& yet there was never a mirror.

Life reads love in only two ways.
From our heart, & from our mind.
Both contain the same message.
Zen is love, disguised to remind.
