So, Zen has this emphasis
on not thinking,
but Buddha himself said
that nothing will help you more
than thinking,
once mastered,
so, I believe in thinking,
and even about the past
and the future,
because you can work out
your problems with them
and delight in the good stuff,
so, thinking gives you
the most entertaining ideas
and the most inspiring thoughts
that can lead you
to wonderful things,
and these thoughts
are not necessarily true,
they are just
usually good,
for someone
who knows how
to think,
so, I have taken up
thinking practice,
contemplation,
as a Zen practice,
and I think
it's a good idea.
