Kathie Fischer: When a fish enters the flowing stream, everything is provided

What does the evolution of grasses, the schooling behavior of fish, and our dharma practice have in common? Former school teacher and Zen priest Sensei Kathie Fischer beautifully weaves together these topics in a tender talk about trust. Like a fish, how do we enter the flowing stream of life trusting that everything is provided? Sensei Kathie shares personally how we can cultivate trust by returning to the breath and body as our home, our “grass hut”. Our practice, she reminds us, is to return to our life as it is, to let our judgments fall away, and to recognize the preciousness of each moment of our passing lives.
