The Art of Zen

By Katie Funk

26 Feb 2007

Sometimes when we are alone, it is the greatest of times. There is that moment where it seems as if you are the only one, yet you are actually an integral part of all of the rest. Each part of life enjoying its glory and beauty to the fullest extent. Rarely do we ever get to capture that beauty, that moment of oneness and of just being with yourself, among all the rest. I've caught these moments from all aspects of life, of someone...or something that is alone in their moment of unconditional peace, comfort, and zen. They are existing and appreciating that very second of life. Little do they realize the true beauty that they all represent. Each one unlike the other, yet truly all the very same. Just another branch connecting to the same tree. However, I believe that they do all realize the true beauty that their life represents. Watch them, look deeply, pay attention and pretty soon you will begin to see what they see.
