When will we notice the way?

I know that in myself I miss things that I should do or ways that I should be that would help me, but I act like those things, that would bring more positive things into in my life, are strangers. We all miss opportunities that if we grasp at them would bring us to a better understanding of ourselves and give us better lives.

Daily Zen Meditation: "For twenty seven years
I’ve always sought the Way.
Well, this morning we passed
Like strangers on the road.

- Kokuin (10th century)"
