Zen Thinking

Zen, these days,
is thought of
as the non-thinking religion,
but I am
a Zen guy
with a beginner's mind,
in other words,
a thinking mind,
and I find
that my thoughts
are the golden guides
which create my life
and are the same
as prayer,
so Buddha taught us
to quieten our minds,
but he also taught us
that our thoughts,
once mastered,
help us more
than anything,
so he talked
about right thinking,
not no thinking,
and I have found
that without the filters
of thoughts, I become
blinded by the burning intensity
of the world.
Thimk!
