After an afternoon nap
I awoke without any thoughts
an empty brain
and in Zen they say that's great
and everyone seems to think so
but it disturbed me
so I just sat in a chair
without a thought
for a few hours
doing nothing
then later I did some Zen practice
and the mind began talking again
so I felt much better.
