100 Days of Vision…Day 23

Kitaro Nishida said: “If my heart can become pure and simple like that of a child, I think that there can probably be no greater happiness than this.”

While I was reading this quote in my little Zen companion book on my desk at work, it made me realise the simple truth that as children, we become so eager to become adults and when we become adults we become eager to become like children. That comes from thinking that being in one state or another will bring with it happiness whereas the truth is that the most amount you can have is by being in the moment; enjoying and making the most of now!
