Zen Quotes written by Jeannine Proulx

 

 

"The Balance Beam

What imbalance creates is fear.

What balance creates is peace."

 

 

                 "Moon – so almost full

                      it lights the sky,

                  twinkles on the water

                     as the fountain sprays calm,

                  I breathe in its rays

                      and breathe out the day. "

                                             

 

              

                "I once sat upon a

                        moonlight star and

                watched my body from afar,

                         it looked peaceful.

                                  Why wasn’t I?"

                        

                

 

          "I could be obsessed with puzzles

                    the mad artist alone in my world.

           Unable to put the pieces of my life

                   together

                             in perfection."

                                       

 

"Dream a dream.

Let it live.

In your

everyday moments.

In your mind’s eye.

Know it to be.

And it will."

                                       

                                            

"Find the power

 within yourself

     to let go."

 

 

Zen Quotes

 

 

"Zen is art made equal

in nature’s eyes

life brought by rhythm

not surprise.

And hot apple pie

topped with cold ice cream."

 

 

                        "I try to see

                           me from you

                                      this from that

                            dissolve the illusion.

                         But, I cannot see.

                         Perhaps it needs to be eye

                                   instead of me?"

 

 

                "May I wish upon a star

                              and travel oh so far,

                 to where you lie sleeping

                    and may we dance together

                                     intertwined

                  our souls, our hearts, our minds

                               soaring sweetly."

 

 

               "I wonder if people

                         dreaming together

                    cookie cutter house neighbors

                         on the small sleep cycle

                    do they leave their houses

                         in dreams and go

                                 visit one another?"

                                           

  

                  "Beauty

                    A millimeter difference

                           the eye can tell

                                 symmetry is

                                            beautiful.

                     So is falling snow

                            and Audrey Hepburn’s

                                           eyelashes."

                                     

 

                    "And therein

                              lies a mystery

                    wrapped in a puzzle

                            shrouded in a code

                    hidden within a crocked smile

                          that reveals the depth

                                  to which

                       we all have

                                    deceived ourselves

                           into imbalanced

                                  perpetual war."

 

 

                 "Lost beyond the imprint of

                                       tomorrow

                    lies consciousness of that

                          which is hidden now

                                       from view. "

 

                     

                        "Life

     the ultimate stage.

We let people see what

we want them

to see.

It’s only us and maybe

a god who

sees the rest. "

 

              

"It’s scary to realize

how critical the first years of life

really turn out to be.

 The one who gave us life,

the ones who raise us,

therefore responsible for various

abilities, tasks, life situations. 

We cannot run from our parents.

We are our parents.

Accepting that fact is the only

way to break free

and truly become yourself."

              "There are many issues

                      lying buried beneath the sand,

                yet digging for them is useless.

                I think I will pull up a chair

                   and wait for the wind and waves

               to do their work

                and reveal the secrets of myself

                            to me. "

 

 

"And at the end of the day

all I can say is

I don't know

what will happen 

tomorrow."

 

 

"             "Life’s lessons learned

  on everyday scales

                 last forever."

 

 

 

             Storyteller Secrets

                     And in that moment,

      I went there with you

                     and part of you

                          became me.

                           

 

               "I chose happiness. I chose peace.

                   I chose love. I chose laughter.

                I chose life eternal. I chose.

                What power lies in

                             the choices we make."

          

 

"Your children will teach

you more about yourself

than you ever wanted

to know."

   

 

 

"I am becoming who I am."
