“All human beings are at war with themselves... The war is between the way we think we should be and who we are... between wanting pleasure (or ease or success) and being with the truth that life doesn't care about our pleasure (or ease or success)... We are all caught in the feeling that we should be some other way.”

Charlotte Joko Beck 1917 – 2011 CE
Authentic, pioneering Western Zen master
