Full-Spectrum Zen

My exploration of “Feminine Zen” brought me to this visualization. It explores the relationship and confluence of feminine and masculine qualities of living Zen.

Corresponding concepts fall on the same lines horizontally.

The movement of each circle/path is toward the center, where the full spectrum of qualities is available in responsive, dynamic relationship to life unfolding.

All the words on this diagram are included for their positive aspects and rightful place in the ecology of presence. Most any quality of experience can fall out of balance and cause problems accordingly.

If you don’t agree with the placement of some of the words, great! Clarifying your point of view and how to articulate it is a beautiful thing!

“Where there is paradox there is Truth — if you have eyes to see.”

— Shunryu Suzuki
