Starting from Zero

“The world is its own magic.” – Shunryu Suzuki

 

 

Sometimes it’s best to start afresh.

 

No baggage. No set ideals of what should be.

 

No false constructs to constrain us.

 

The white of the page.  The blank canvas.  A space for us to create, simply and purely.

 

Beginner’s mind.

 

To make mistakes.  To fall, to pick ourselves up.  No judgement.

 

To give the best of ourselves.  To share our light.  Maybe even expose our genius to the world.

 

No expectations other than to give what we have to give.  No need for applause, no dependency on a crowd that may or may not form.  No need for external accolades or awards.

 

We simply embrace the process of living life our way, of being our best self, of putting one foot in front of the other, of creating, of contribution.  And that in itself is gift enough.
