Sitting Still

“Watermelons and Zen students grow pretty much the same way.
Long periods of sitting till they ripen and grow all juicy inside, but when you knock them on the head to see if they’re ready…sound’s like nothing’s going on.”

 Peter Levitt

“Sitting in your garden is a feat to be worked at with unflagging determination and single-mindedness – for what gardener worth his salt sits down. I am deeply committed to sitting in the garden.”
– Mirabel Osler

“Sitting is the gateway of truth to total liberation.”
– Dogen
