The Search

There are enough zen centers. We need more zen corners. – Thich Nhat Hanh

All those elements and practices of the day that make up the search for happiness constitute what is defined in most quarters as “religion.” Some are organized into corporate structures, some privately individualized and idiosyncratic. That said, if our “religion” doesn't help us experience the essential, united, undefended and truly loved Self, then change it, get rid of it, or do something very different. – after Fr. Richard Rohr

What Rohr has cited as “a bottomless and endless need to be loved and to love,” is neither more nor less than the expression of Creation Itself reflected in each unfolding moment-by-moment instant.

That which we seek is always seeking us.
