Life is a series of opportunities to begin again.
Through circumstances and events often outside of us and beyond our control, we are continually placed in new situations and circumstances that require us to begin again. How we choose to look at the circumstances of beginning again is entirely up to us.
How do you see the glass of life....as half full or half empty?
When we look at nature we see the natural process of beginning again. In the Spring, flowers bloom and display their glorious colors. Summer and Fall bring change and both a cycle of growth then letting go. Winter brings loss of all that has blossomed, a death, and then the process begins all over again.
We don’t always get to choose with the seasons of life will bring our way. We can only choose to be at peace with the process and when the seasons require, begin again.
Today, how will you choose to begin again?
Zen and Ink Journals represents hundreds of hours of writing over the past decade, sometimes from a train in remote China or a coffee shop in Kyoto, a hammock in Costa Rica or a simple cabin on a mountain in Boquete, Panama.
Zen and Ink Journals is a simple offering of words in the hope of inspiring others to a simpler, more mindful way of life in these chaotic times. I invite you join me each month on the journey for a glimpse of the larger world, reflections on living more simply and quietly amidst the chaos of our modern world.
Please consider foregoing a cup of coffee each month and becoming a monthly subscriber.

Zen and Ink was born over a decade ago out of my own personal journey to find peace and tranquility amidst the ever-increasing chaos of our modern world. In the last ten years, the pace of our modern world has only accelerated and we have moved further out of sync with nature and the rhythm of our souls. Zen and Ink offers a quiet space for anyone along their journey seeking more balance and Zen in their daily lives.
Zen and Ink provides an oasis for those who are drawn to a slower and simpler way of life; to provide a portal for awakening, tools and resources that many will find useful in their own quest to find the Zen which is already there and always within and around each of us.
