After becoming a parent, I resolved to accept no philosophy or idea of humanity crafted by a person that had not taken care of children. There is so much to be seen in the growth of us as youngsters, just so much.Chris Austin-Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12087229885629433137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696496724271056053.post-6242565319737253362007-07-03T08:07:10.903-07:002007-07-03T08:07:10.903-07:00I'm posted!<BR/><BR/>http://thezenofmotherhood.blogspot.com/2007/07/everybody-grab-your-websters.htmlMama Zenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696496724271056053.post-87990219372491412142007-07-02T21:07:48.719-07:002007-07-02T21:07:48.719-07:00Oops, did I need to say explicitly that I'm entering the contest.

You'll embarrass yourself. Everyone will know how imperfect your understanding is, how imperfect you are."<BR/><BR/>So, shut up little voice. Deep breath...<BR/><BR/>For me, Zen is... letting go of the need to perfectly define what Zen is.Mary P Jones (MPJ)http://www.blogger.com/profile/10251787926841410344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696496724271056053.post-40409473743401216992007-07-02T12:24:43.408-07:002007-07-02T12:24:43.408-07:00Thanks for introducing us to Karen.
