Alright, I've had enough time to party and enjoy my new success... now I need to catch up with my Little Zen Calendar... and you know? I think I'm actually going to pull a couple of cards today too :) Here we go:

Thursday, May 23rd

The Little Zen Calendar

With the ideal comes the actual, like
a box and its lid. In darkness there is light,
but you will not understand it by one-sided
darkness alone. In light there is darkness,
but you will not understand it by one-sided
light. The two go together like the sequence
of steps in a dance.

~ The Sandokai

The Little Zen Calendar

Cocks crow
Dogs bark
This all men know.
Even the wisest
Cannot tell
Whence these voices come
Or explain
Why dogs bark and cocks crow
When they do.

~ Chuang-Tzu

The Little Zen Calendar

You knock at the door of Reality.
You shake your thought-wings, loosen
your shoulders,
and open.

~ Jelaluddin Rumi

Today: Sunday, May 26th

Re-MINDer Cards

You're invited...
To be the cause of your experience

You cannot experience yourself
as What You Are
until you've encountered
What You Are Not

Medicine Cards

Eagle
Connect with Spirit
Feel the freedom found in Oneness
Let your spirits soar

Elk
Persistence brings rewards
Support your health & stamina
Honor your ability to endure

The Little Zen Calendar

The moon, the blossoms -
forty-nine years wasted
walking beneath them!

~ Issa
