Having a moment of clarity was one thing; i'd had moments like that before. it had to be followed with a dedicated push of daily exercise. it's a trite axiom, but practice does make perfect. if you want to be a strong swimmer or an accomplished musician, you have to practice. it's the same with sobriety, though the stakes are higher. if you don't practice your program every day, you're putting yourself in a position where you could fly out of the orbit one more time.

The trick to making a story matter is that every now and then, somebody you care about has to go. if it's somebody that you don't care about, then it doesn't really have - the stakes aren't there. but if you do that every now and then, then the story matters to people. and there are actual stakes involved, emotional stakes.

Botha swimmer and a drowned man are in the water; the latter is borne by the water and controlled by it, while the swimmer is borne along by his own power and of his own volition. every movement made by the drowned man - indeed, every act and word that issue from him - comes from the water, not from him... the saints are like this. they have died before death.

Once upon a time you were a fish. how do you know? because i was also a fish. you, too? sure. a long time ago. anyway, being a fish, you knew how to swim. you were a great swimmer. a champion swimmer, you were. you loved the water. why? what do you mean, why? why did i love the water? because it was your life! and as we talked, i would have let him go one finger at a time, until, without his realizing, he'd be floating without me. perhaps that is what it means to be a father-to teach your child to live without you.

I don't view myself as a musician anymore - i view myself as a human being that functions as a musician when i'm functioning as a musician, but that's not 24 hours a day. that's really opened me up to even more perspectives because now i look at music, not from the standpoint of being a musician, but from the standpoint of being a human being.

A few times in my life i've had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and i can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp. and the world seems so fresh as though it had all just come into existence. i can never make these moments last. i cling to them, but like everything, they fade. i have lived my life on these moments. they pull me back to the present, and i realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.

In the assemblies of the enlightened ones there have been many cases of mastering the way bringing forth the heart of plants and trees; this is what awakening the mind for enlightenment is like. the fifth patriarch of zen was once a pine-planting wayfarer; rinzai worked on planting cedars and pines on mount obaku. . . . working with plants, trees, fences and walls, if they practice sincerely they will attain enlightenment.
