Yesterday "May 14th",i got up around 6:30am went outside,breathed in the sweet air and thought to myself "self maybe you should go fishing". I sat in my car,turned it on then drove to the lake,where i found a nice lump of grass to sit on. I cast several times till i hit what i believed to be the "sweet spot", then i watched as the white and red dobber bobbed up and down in the gentle ripples of the water. I chose to go fishing so i could practice attentiveness/zazen in a setting that was slow and peaceful,throughout the day as i sat i come to the conclusion that fishing is quite a wonderful metaphore for the practice of zazen.
