“None of us is ourselves.” Caste (2020) Isabel Wilkerson
For me, the nature of professional, modern life has been dissociation from my own mind/body. Exercise is necessary but not sufficient to move breath and chi. Zazen is not for everyone. But in my case, its been helpful. In what way? To be oneself, it is helpful to see things as they are… in this body this moment… and outside this body this moment.
All of us would like to be ourselves.
