    PS - I will add this: That vision of a coffee cup you see "now" may be something like a dream, a mental construct made of clay molecules that we have come to interpret by shared social meaning as "vessel" to hold a "hot liquid" ... and maybe you are just seeing molecules you interpret as "coffee cup" (an ant crawling across its surface surely has no idea of either "coffee" or "cup" or even "now") ... and your vision may actually be a processed image of something that happened micro-seconds ago ...

    ... but it is a real dream, a real dream coffee cup in the real dream now.

    So, after Zazen, just enjoy your coffee.

      Your words (even in the 4 sentences ) gives complexly with simple clarity.

      I'll enjoy my coffee even more after tomorrow's Zazen.
