How is the moon of your mind tonight?

A lovely bit of Zen to ponder and inspire -

When the moon

Of your mind becomes

Clouded over with confusion,

You are searching

Around for the light outside.

    Ever observed Mad abuot You? the television series? whilst their dogs chases an imaginary mouse? each time my cat is doing the comparable concern i think of roughly that episode. Then it seems she's chasing a fly and as quickly as she even jumped like a million.5 meters severe, it became into remarkable! (She did no longer capture the fly LOL)

    i like it zen master. i believe there is no right answer to this question, and it is all based on the individual and there experience's with life. rather good or harsh times. for me, i find myself looking for the light outside. only to find it glimmering in the distance.

    lovely. Who among us hasn't searched in vain for the light outside?

    Sounds a bit like me before coffee.
