Living Zen Life

what is mind
but the natural way
not forcing
accepting things as they are
not trying to change what is
Dao the way
it is in zen
we do not speak of it
that is the way it is
I will practice myself
natural mind
flowing 
yielding open not resisting
these are not my words
but Lao Tsu the master
I do not fully understand how
I vow to try to understand 
it won't be easy
all my life not living the natural way
timid fearful slow ignorant
of how to become who I am
a stranger to myself
I see myself now
discovering this person
this Korin who has
breathed new life into me
take a deep breath
let it all go
let it go.
