I dont know whether it is enlightnement, or the way to
enlightnement. But I can see a paralell between my day to day
experience as a bank clerk and zen practice.
Somehow, trying to give a client five minutes of attention is a
way of acknowledging interdependence. Their work and their lives is
the main reason as to why I have work and a position in the Caixa
Econ�mica Federal (A bank in Brazil). It is also a way of focusing on
the present, without worring about the future, or what happened in
the past. What matter is now.
