"Yan Hui saw Confucius again and said, "I have made progress."
"What do you mean?" asked Confucius.
"I sit and forget everything."
Confucius was alarmed and asked, "What do you mean by sitting down and forgetting everything?"
Yan Hui replied, "I leave behind my body, perception, and knowledge. Detached from both material form and mind.
I become one with that which penetrates all things. This I call sitting and forgetting everything."
- Zhuangzi, Book 6, Translated by Hyun Hochsmann and Yang Guorong, 2007, p. 123.
"To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment." - Jane Austen
Come as you are, stay as long as you can.
We are all family, so no seating plan!

Your welcome @silversaver888 😇
I can see the reasoning behind sitting and just forgetting everything else. Especially, if the place in which you sit is beautiful or interesting. You would be caught up in that and forget the world and it's cares. Not a bad idea, really; we all need to escape every now and then. Thanks for sharing sis!
you've shown us an area in the wood where there is a clearing, with a picnic table. It looks like a great area to sit and forget everything else!
Be caught up in your thoughts...
It is; there are actually 3 spots; that one, a bench on Bear Hollow and a bench on Buckhorn Loop. Each has a view and it's easy to sit and just be.😎❣️
Wow, three?
Come Spring and Summer, you'll get to all those spots!
Take some more photos.

I will, but first we will need to wait for the sun to emerge from it's winter sleep, lol! Then there is always the threat of June-u-ary! That's a whole 'nother thing!
It's really wonderful where you are!
You have little snow, you have pretty much all the nice weather and the views!!!
I thought my town was small enough... but now there are more and more homes being built!
Today, we had the wind......GUSTY wind! And, of course rain! Crazy stuff for sure! Thanks sis, for stopping by!

tokens.Ahhh...Sitting and being refreshed, sometimes that's all it takes @silversaver888 !😀
Your post was refreshing, just thinking about a long needed break in the Sun my friend😍😍😀
All that snowshoeing...
Don't worry... Spring is on the way!
🥰🌺🤙 !ENGAGE
I really do like snowshoeing @silversaver888, But spring can hurry up anyway LOL!😍😍😀
Oh!!!
Snowshoeing is kinda like... skiing, @silvertop?
When the snow is very deep you float over the top, almost like walking on air, it's very interesting!!
On a few inches of snow, they have metal teeth that bite the ground, it's a lot of fun!! @silversaver888 😍😍😀

This is the first time I heard of Confucius's student Yan Hui. Interesting. Looks like he attained enlightenment.
Love the Jane Austen quote. I love her books. I think I read all her books. 😊
Isn't it so! He attained enlightenment... sitting!
I love Jane Austen too. What is your favorite book?
Next time someone tries to tell you to get off your butt, you can tell them you are trying to gain enlightenment. 😂
I love all of Jane Austen's books. I don't have a favourite. But if someone puts a knife to my neck and said, "Choose!" I would say it's Pride and Prejudice. That was the first book of hers I read, and that was how I got introduced to Jan Austen. 😊
Ahh... Pride and Prejudice!!!
