Zen talks about each moment arising and if we understand this then each time we meet someone it is for the first time.Each time we see something it is for the first time.

I wonder how different I treat people I meet for the first time to those I have met hundreds of times. Think how wonderful things are for the first time and then see things for the first time. Today’s 100 word story is entitled Nice To See You Again, Enjoy!

Nice To See You Again

Shakti always woke early, then sat on the the bed doing Zazen.

My eyes would open to Shakti’s smile, she’d say, “nice to see you again.”

My hand would rise to meet hers, I’d pull her back to lay with me, are noses touching, giggling a little as we snuggled closer.

One morning she asked “ how do we take a journey?”

“There is no journey, no beginning, no end, remember it’s arising only” I answered.

Momentarily perplexed she started to ask then let go and kissed me.

Kiya Kiya she whispered through her wet lips, we fell back asleep.
