YEAR OF ZEN: SPRING: DAY 41

Q: Do you enjoy day dreaming or concentrating?

A: I don’t know that I enjoy my mind wandering or concentrating one more than the other. Rather, I think that both have high value at different times and in different places. One of the reasons I love to hike is because it is an activity where I am constantly switching between these modes. Focus and concentration to solve an immediate problem easily gives way to views and vistas where my mind can’t help but wander and wonder.
