• Now and Zen
  by peter mciver

  There is only now.

  I was walking home from my meditation class this evening, it was freezing cold and my feet were sore and my mind started once again to fill with too many thoughts. I stopped myself and composed this mantra which i silently repeated all the way home.

This stuff really works! / Yes the pesky thoughts kept trying to break through but this time they had some competition.

• Zen of the Father
  by Aeona Bliss

  Trails of incense smoke curled about our heads. Mimicking my father’s motions, I rolled the juzu, the prayer beads, between my palms. . .

  After spending much of my life as an orphan, I piece together an image of my father from a box of his belongings sent by an old friend.
