here's a good quote from contemporary Rinzai Zen master Shodo Harada Roshi:

"Doing Zazen [meditation] begins when you become unable to know where to go and what to expect."

Squeezing on to a wooden table in a beer garden with a cold drink. Looking at the menu but choosing the burger, again. Asking if it’s okay to get some ketchup and mayo, please. Telling friends go on have a chip. Bloody wasp! Wishing you’d worn sun cream. Can’t wait for that.
