Paul Reps, an American artist, poet, and knower of Zen once wrote "Drinking a bowl of green tea, I stopped the war.
I am sitting quietly tonight, drinking green tea and smiling at the thought of stopping all wars and saving all sentient beings. I'm smiling, because I've been sitting quietly for most of the day. I've written a few poems and sketched a bit and thought about the way following my breath quiets my mind. Mind is vast, as vast as space, and when it's empty, l experience fullness. Drinking a cup of green tea.
