Zen is Doing the Dishes

It are those quiet moments in life when peace is ever present. Even doing a menial task such as the dishes can become a Zen moment.

When we reflect on the moments in life when we were most at peace, it is often overlooked without question those moments of true bliss that go overlooked that can only be found in the present.

Go do your dishes and you will know what I'm talking about.

Thought For the Day- Washing dishes is not only a Zen exercise, but you get the dishes clean too.
-Robert Allen

Serenity: Peace Within the Storm

"Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace within the storm"- unknown

When we accept things for what they are rather than go against the natural flow of things, then we can begin to realize true peace within our lives.

It's not about the situation, no matter; it's how we react. Be present in all that you do and you will find serenity.
