"Are you awake?"
"Don't fool yourself."
From the Zen story that Leslie told in our discussions.

About Steven
Steven K. Harper leads wilderness hiking workshops at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California; Tassajara Zen Center in the Santa Lucia Mountains; and Green Gulch Zen Center north of San Fancisco. These programs explore the inner and outer reaches of wilderness through ecopsychology, contemporary practices, and wisdom traditions that encourage aliveness. See my website at: Steven K Harper

I don’t know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
~ Mary Oliver from The Summer Day
