Stop thinking and be in the moment
"Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes."
-Alan W Watts
I think this is one of the reasons that I miss running so much. When I use to run, I just focused all of my attention on the moment. When I read a book, I focus on the words. When I watch television, I focus on the show. It is difficult to find a task that I am able to focus only on that moment. There are few things in life that enable me to clear my mind; to stop thinking and just be.
