“To give your sheep or cow a large, spacious meadow is the way to control him.” ~ Shunryu Suzuki in Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind
How does the analogy above apply to you? Do you try to control the people and circumstances around you? Do you control you? You may disagree, but I believe we are all trying to control our lives. Whether we do it skilfully and how we do it is another question.
I hope this quote provides you with something worthwhile to ponder, and ultimately improve your relationship to Life.
