A short word, before the first story.
What follows is a collection of very old Zen stories. None of them are mine. They were told by teachers to students long before any of us were here, kept and repeated for centuries because each one does something quietly useful to the person who hears it. I have only opened a door in front of each one, and left you something small at the end.
This is the third and last of three short books. The first, A Quiet Night, was for the dark and for rest. The second, Letting Go, was for the things we carry through the day. If you have listened to them, welcome back. If you are starting here, you have lost nothing. Each book stands on its own.
This is the widest of the three. These ten stories ask the larger question underneath the others: not how to sleep, and not only what to put down, but how a person actually spends the time they are given, and what an ordinary life looks like when it is lived all the way through.
