The foil was crumpled and charred with the residue. I was about to throw it in to the garbage when the simple beauty of the crumpled mass caught my attention. Too often, we rush through life and miss the beauty in everything surrounding us. This moment; this foil; this residue, was satori.
In the Zen Buddhist tradition, satori refers to the experience of kensho. 'Seeing into one's true nature or essence." Satori to me can also mean seeing into the true essence or nature of all things.
