Beginner's Mind (Buddhist) Zen teacher Shunryu Suzuki spoke of beginner's mind—seeing with fresh eyes, free from the weight of "already knowing." Gratitude shares that quality: we notice what we've taken for granted. The cup of tea, the sky, the person beside us—we see them as if for the first time. Thankfulness is a way of staying beginner, open and awake. "In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities; in the expert's mind there are few." — Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind https://gratefulday.space
