When Everything You Know Gets in the Way
A child picks up a paintbrush and creates without hesitation. An expert picks up the same brush and sees only what's been done before. This is the quiet tragedy of mastery: the more we know, the less we see. Shunryu Suzuki's teachings, delivered to a small community in San Francisco in the 1960s, cut through this paradox with startling simplicity. His message wasn't about accumulating wisdom but about recovering something we've lost-the fresh, uncluttered awareness we had before we learned to divide the world into categories. In beginner's mind, everything is possible. In expert's mind, the doors have already closed. What if the path forward isn't about knowing more, but about unlearning what we think we already know? Before you try to fix your thoughts, straighten your spine. This isn't metaphor-it's the foundation of everything that follows. When you sit in zazen, legs crossed and back upright, something shifts that has nothing to do with willpower or positive thinking. Your body remembers what your racing mind has forgotten: that you're already whole, already complete, already home. Think about how your entire day changes based on whether you're slouched over your phone or standing tall. That shift in posture isn't just physical-it's a statement about how you meet reality.
