Re: [Zen] Newbie - hello & question

[ED]

That's the ideal state to aspire toward, but the ideal state is not
normal and natural human nature, (and it's a concept too.)

Zen might advise being in the here and now in every moment and observing
the process of interrelating - a tall order for hormonally charged
younger folk.

An almost equivalent Zen recommendation might be: Whatever the intensity
and quality of your love/attachment, experience it and observe it
intently it in every moment - and walk on.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't love them. You should. It just means the
love should be a love with no attachments - no expectations, no
requirements, no feelings of possession or ownership.
