Fascinating introduction to the art of Zen. I remember reading about Wabi Sabi before and thinking it was a beautiful concept.
I am sorry to hear of your traumatic experience in college. Your description of experiencing Zen through roller skating reminded me of how much I used to love my roller skates and the freedom I felt on them.
I am the same as you regarding meditative practice: I need to move before I can even think about quieting the mind, which is why I enjoy a flowing yoga practice and walking outside in nature; both of these help me to reach the closest I come to a 'Zen' state of mind.
Very much looking forward to discovering more creativity in the coming weeks! : )
"Though the flame be put out, the wick remains."
"Hi wa kiyurédomo tô-shin wa hiyédzu."
- I saved this in my notes in college. I hope it means what I remember. Killer zen moodpiece 😌
