East Mountain and Contemplative Care

In Japanese Zen lore, East Mountain is where we lose our sense of separateness. It is the space where me transforms to we.  In a caregiving environment, the spirit and essence of East Mountain blurs the boundaries between those providing and receiving care. And as boundaries soften, we are more readily empowered to enter into the suffering of others, because the other is no other than me. Reality before division provides unlimited depth.
