After spending some time here, I notice that I’ve fallen Into a certain way of interacting and reacting.
Studying zen changed it sometimes, but eventually it comes back to that same way of thinking.
Something like, “I’m gonna browse r/zen for whatever I’m looking for. Oh hey, there’s so and so posting, time to see what I think about it and reply.”
It seems to me the same kind of patterns that I get caught up in with every aspect of my life.
Today, I was thinking back about all the different ways I’ve looked at things over my life. Doing this showed me that I had fallen into the same old routines and habits that developed over my life.
I can remember being a child, the wonder I felt when I’d see something new or when I’d see something in a new way.
These days I catch myself thinking in the same ways I’ve been thinking for a long time. Thinking about other people’s problems and solutions. Thinking about what’s wrong in any given situation.
Lately I’ve been exploring myself to find different ways of seeing things. To find that spontaneous wonder that came from seeing things I didn’t already “know.”
What do you guys and gals think?
