09/10/2022, Sozan Michael McCord, dharma talk at City Center. Our Zen practice gives us the context and tools to be with and meet the moments in our life, honing our gut as to whether to tighten or release, to act or wait. And the HOW of that learning comes from the many teachers around us. And if we can become aware of what we are learning and seek out those who may be able to demonstrate a way to walk paths we are unable to traverse, it gives us the experience of what a tuned note even sounds like. And then, we start to let our own expression unfold in how to navigate more skillfully.
