So often, when wrestling with a problem, the answer comes to me when I'm out for a run or walk and have totally forgotten about the problem.

I know this works, I often use a version of it myself.

I've noticed that each example of a koan you gave starts with "How". Is it a coincidence or is it intentional? in other words, is there a rule around how the koan should be formulated?

Yes I love the simplicity of it and sparks a slew of generic questions about this topic and all the other examples you mentioned. I’m a less is more kinda gal but find myself myriad in stuff with no place for it to go. Just another reason to purge my dream is to live with very little so I can really appreciate and bask in my motto of less is more. It’s a process that I’m continually trying to perfect. Lol 😂 thanks for this I really love it! I’ll will keep you posted on my progress. 😊🙏

I love this! It’s true but so different from how most people are raised or think they should act. I used to think I had to act like I knew everything in order to seem intelligent, but realized the opposite was true. That’s just pride. Asking (the right!) questions is the real cornerstone of intelligence & growth.

I love this idea! I’m starting with the last question you posted. How can I release some weight today? However, mine relates to the physical weight! Does this work for physical changes as well?
