death is just another season winter gives way to spring
This series of writing explorations that I call mushin are an attempt to grasp the concept of mushin no shin (mind without mind, 無心の心, often shortened to mushin, or “no-mind”). I am using prompts from 365 Tao, largely because they are Zen and Tao themes for meditation (which suits this exploration), not as an endorsement for the book from which they are derived. The daily prompts can be found in this table. Anyone wishing to participate is welcome to do so, either post your own response to the prompt below or post a link to your response in the comments.

A very Zen feel. Which comes first, life or death? And what exactly is ‘death’? Do we need to die in order to realise ourselves?
Now look what you’ve done!!

On a serious note I do think it’s important to shake yourself awake every now and again.
