初心 shoshin – beginner´s mind

 

Throughout my whole life I approached music

always from an intuitive childlike perspective,

as I began to feel, to hear, to see etc..

In beginner´s mind there is no thought,

no dualism, good or bad.

The intellect limits pure learning

and keeps repeating

between right and wrong

by decision.

Beginner´s mind is compassion

and by being boundless

it resumes our original mind.

It includes everything within itself already.

– be and all became –

– here and now –

inspired by Shunryu Suzuki
