" You spend most of your life in motion, working, playing sports.
You assume that you are moving toward a certain goal in life.
Sometimes you loose sight of what you're actually making any progress. At such time, it is best to sit down, which is, to stop your movement and to rethink the path you've taken.
When a garden is used as a place to pose for thoughts, that's when a zen garden comes to life. When you contemplate a garden like this, it will create a lasting impression in your heart ".
A zen buddhist monk in Tenryu Ji Temple.
