When it’s dishwashing time, just wash the dishes; sitting time, just sit;
driving time, just drive; talking time, just talk. That’s all. Nothing special. When you’re doing something, just do it.

[However,] It’s easy to say “When you’re doing something, just do it,” but this is very difficult.

Just don’t hold. Thinking is OK. Checking is OK. Only holding is a problem. Don’t hold. Feelings coming and going, OK. Don’t hold. If your mind is not holding anything, it is clear like space.

Clear like space means that sometimes clouds come, sometimes rain or lightning or an airplane comes … but the air is never broken.

Korean Zen Master Seung Sahn. 1927 – 2004
