"When you are just sitting in zazen there is nothing to say, there is just silence. That silence is your life and also others' lives, which have become the contents of your life. All are interconnected and interpenetrated. When you taste this, very naturally your life becomes fully alive. Then you really understand your life, you express it, and you help others. The deep, disconsolate flavor will turn 180 degrees, and you will find joy."
-- from Each Moment Is the Universe, Roshi Danin Katagiri
