Small Steps

A small step in the right direction can have a long lasting impact. Over eight-hundred years ago Dogen wrote about the practice of chewing on a plant to clean your teeth not only for the clean teeth, but also for the meditation on wishing others well. Is it possible for us, too, to wish others well as we brush our teeth? What do you think about when you brush your teeth? Can you focus your thoughts on the cleaning? Can you clean the world?
