There are scores of Zen stories which remind us that just letting a stone be at rest is possibly the best way for us to live. The true Buddha nature of the stone is to rest, the true Buddha nature of the fire is to burn, the true Buddha nature of the beast is to bite, and the true Buddha nature of the bird is to fly, and the true Buddha nature of a mind is "letting things pass it by".
On days like today, I wonder why returning to stony silence is not such a wonderful thing?
