Hummingbird by Karen DahlI spent several hours watching for hummingbirds thru the lens of my camera. I was propped against a screen door with Lake Superior in the foreground, but I was lost in my focus on the hummingbird feeder. It was a happy surprise when I saw that the Lake was also captured in the nectar bowl.
The practice of Zen is forgetting the self in the act of uniting with something.

Life isn’t as serious as the mind makes it out to be.

Chairs by Karen Dahl
I forget sometimes that it is OK to sit. And it doesn’t have to be an invitation from a mossy seat. Sometimes it can just be a view: a sunset, chickens pecking in a yard, or birds at a feeder. Sit, enjoy.
Zen is not some kind of excitement, but concentration on our usual everyday routine.
– Shunryu Suzuki
