Quotes by Cathy Cassani Adams (?)

“Trying to describe Zen can cause it to lose its meaning entirely. Knowing this, old masters would just say, “Zen is Zen,” as if that would offer some type of clarity to their students.”
― Cathy Cassani Adams, Zen Parenting: Caring for Ourselves and Our Children in an Unpredictable World
