the beginner's mind

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, in the expert's mind there are few .

Shunryu Suzuki ,

A university professor went to visit a famous Zen master. While the master quietly served tea, the professor talked about Zen. The master poured the visitor's cup to the brim, and then kept pouring. The professor watched the overflowing cup until he could no longer restrain himself. "It's overfull! No more will go in!" the professor blurted. "You are like this cup," the master replied, "How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup.

A Zen Story

“ When the student is ready, the master appears. ~ Zen quote

These three things are all a way of being prepared to learn something new. In golf and in life.  I have found them most helpful reminders in my journey.

Reminds me of those Disney animal mockumentaries they had in the 1970s, like the one where the coyote comes to town or the two bear cubs first winter. They would always find their way into a kitchen and demolish it. They's play comedic music in the background but all I got from them was.1.) What a waste of food!! and 2.)  "Who is gonna clean that up?"
