On Twitter I started following @ZenEssentials fairly recently. Today, I saw this Zen proverb posted by whoever is behind that profile.

Given that I’ll be choosing Birds of Paradise as my wedding flower, and given my attitude towards life and marriage, I find it rather apt. It’s got me thinking about how to integrate this into proceedings more carefully.

Enjoy.

The bird of paradise
lands only on the hand
that does not grasp.
~Zen Proverb.
