Zen Pebbles 01

Just a series of pebbles which I am going to leave lying around. Pick them up if you'd like to...
These videos are unscripted, because Zen is just something I do as part of my life. So it's also something to be talked about without any preparation, the same as if you were just describing what you'd had for breakfast that day.
I do try and get rid of the popping noises, afterwards, with the help of Audacity. I even take out some of the "you knows", but basically it is a spontaneous offering. And I think that's best, because -- as someone very wisely said, in one of the comments -- it's about the shared thoughts of a fellow-practitioner, rather than instruction from the master.

I'm trying to get a more "zen" approach on life. All I have is right now, and I try to find pleasure in what I'm doing right now. I'm an atheist, but even before I was an atheist, I recognized that all I have is now, nothing lasts forever, and promises and plans are actually worthless and useless. However, I've been damaged from my life, and overcoming that damage is making it difficult to reach the true "zen" I eventually hope to achieve.

@LeksServices Well, the good news is that Zen is completely compatible with being an atheist. In fact, I'd say it's where any atheist who is fully aware of life's possibilities will end up :-)
