Beginner’s Mind And Me

When Suzuki spoke of Beginner’s

Mind, I thought he

meant to approach

each thing fresh, as

though meeting it for the first time.

I didn’t know

he might also

be referring

to meeting myself with that same

freshness when I

fail to apply

what I have learned.

    oh wow. That’s an attention getter Joan. I think CSB would be very pleased with your element of surprise in the poem. It’ll stick with me for awhile. 🙂
