“Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes."
Alan Watts

That's a lot of potatoes! Not sure I could get my Zen on, while undertaking that task.
"Don't think, just do." - Horace (practicing Zen!) {:-D
I'd rather hang wash out on a clothesline than to peel all those dern potatoes! Loved the quote.~Ames
Seeing that my task was to peel all those potatoes would lead me to prayer.
Z is a Zuper letter and I love it!
Thank you Mrs. Matlock for another round of fun and alpha-frolic!
Lovin' it!

If my task were to peel all those potatoes, I would not be getting my zen on. Tears? Yes! Zen? No!
Looks like this dude is fixing a whole lot of potatoes for the Kennedy clan! We so do love potatoes!!!
Zombies...Alphabe-Thursday & T2Q
I'm confused... in a very zenlike way.

Thank you Mrz Matlock for another zenzational word - and round!
Looking forward to the nezt round too!
XOXO Lola:)
Thanks for hosting. Now, it's time to go get my zen on!
This is one chick who'd have to find all the Zen I could muster up to skin all those 'taders!!!
Must be one spiritual army he's feedin' there. Heeehehehe!!!
God bless your day my dear friend!!!
Uggh! Too many potatoes!
I brought you a sweet treat this week, Jenny! xo
You'd have to get into a Zen state to peel all those potatoes.
No wonder I'm not very zen-like.
;)
a mind free and clear! Difficult to achieve with that pile of potatoes! Should we practice?
OMG... I have become one with peeling potatoes! My mom has literally dropped me off a ton of potatoes so I've been trying to use them before they go bad. They aren't baking size worthy so a lot of peeling has been taking place to mash & boil & whatever else I can come up with. I relate to this pic & quote for realz! LOL
Love this! Facing that pile of potatoes my Zen & I would definitely Zone out.
I buy the potatoes already peeled, so I have to be zen without peeling :)!
LOL, this is how I feel peeling, slicing and dehydrating all my potatoes. Never thought of it as Zen.
I totally do not have Zen when I'm peeling potatoes. More like, whose face can I pretend I'm slicing up feeling. bwaa-haa-haa
Oh my gosh...that is so weird and funny.
You found a great quote for every letter. Nicely done :)
I get zero Zen with a potato Jenny Z.E.R.O. Did I ever tell ya I had nothing but potatoes to eat for a month once? Awww, the good 'ol days:)
See ya on the next go round...
That is indeed a lot of potatoes! I don't think I can be zen when peeling potatoes because I have accidents with the peelers all the time. But then again, I'm just really clumsy and never pay attention to the things I'm doing (like peeling potatoes).
I suppose doing anything that keeps you busy is zen and the things that makes you mad is spirituality?
I wonder if she plans on using all of those potatoes for potato salad or will she mash a few? The only Zen part I feel when peeling potatoes is the taste when I just have to sample a slice of the freshly peeled potato...I really enjoyed this Z (Zen)tricky delivery! Ha ha... post Jenny, nicely done!
I love this!
Sort of like when TGD peels, slices and cores apples for me - very Zen.
Now you've done it. All I can think about is how delicious homemade mashed potatoes would taste right about now.
Hello.
Laughing...it would take a whole load of zen for me to get through all those potatoes. I bet after all that , she probably can't stand the sight of the things!
Nice one, Jenny!
So glad to be a part of Alphabe-Thursday. I'm looking forward to the next round.
See you soon!
