This reminds me of that Zen proverb “Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water”.

The simple and even tedious things in life are worth embracing and engaging in whole heartedly and with all of your attention.

i go through the diamond sutra regularly, but still can't stop building sawmills and waterworks

currently thinking about how to build a system that plays klondike solitaire for me based on my previous games, so it only presents me with deals that i "woulnd't be able to beat" (based on previous games)

"If you see yourself as God and then you come back from this state and somebody says, "Hey, Sam, empty the garbage!" it catches you back into the model of "I'm Sam who empties the garbage." You can't maintain these new kinds of structures. It takes a while to realize that God can empty garbage."
