“Even though you try very hard, the progress you make is always little by little. It is not like going out in a shower in which you know when you get wet.

But actually it is not. When you get wet in a fog it is very difficult to dry yourself.” IfsKnowsTryingMindMayLittlesIdeasHardDifficultProgressTerribleWalkingDryPaceWetGoing OutShowersFog Book:Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind Source: Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind
