The Exquisite Taste of Plain Water
When
we are able to fully appreciate the basic activities of eating and
drinking, we discover an ancient secret, the secret of how to become
content and at ease. The Zen teachings talk about the exquisite taste of
plain water. Have you ever been very, very thirsty? Maybe you were on a
long hike, or sick, or working without a break in the summer heat. When
you were finally able to drink, even plain water, you remember how
wonderful it was. Actually, each sip of liquid and each bite of food can
be that fresh and delicious, once we learn again just to be present.
