Zen is so simple, it's difficult to understand.
Try to explain to someone that they need to be themselves to be themselves.
Try to explain to them that when they ask: "What is the meaning of life" and a bird chirps, they've gotten their answer.
Try to explain to them that just by doing anything, as they feel like doing it and just by being themselves as they feel like being - they're very Zen.
And try to explain that you can be Zen without understanding Zen. That whether you like it or not, or even know what it is, you're Zen.
I hope, one day, to be able to properly and clearly communicate the following sentiment, as I understand it.
"Write to write"
If you wanna write, write.
If you wanna be good at writing, write.
If you suck at writing and don't like it, write.
If you don't know what to write, write.
If you feel discouraged about writing, write.
If you're thinking about writing and have no idea what to do with it, write.
If you can't think of an idea to write, write.
If you can't think of a place to start writing, write.
Ten times out of ten, how do you solve a writing problem?
You write.
Write to write!
It's so simple!
