About
So much fear and desire come from that commitment to ‘I am’–to being somebody. Eventually they take us to anxiety and despair; life seems much more difficult and painful than it really is. But when we just observe life for what it is, then it’s all right: the delights, the beauty, the pleasures are just that.
-Ajahn Sumedho, “Seeing the Way”
My name is Daniel Beahn. I’ve lived in 18 cities in 11 States, as well as having spent a couple of months in India. I currently reside on the southwest coast of Florida. I write, I walk, I meditate. The more simply I live, the happier I become.
The Art of Zen Living covers simplicity, productivity, happiness, fitness, frugality, goals, make it yourself, kitchen zen, and making a change.
