Attention

Zen scholar  D.T. Suzuki was a panelist at a symposium held outdoors.  As he sat behind the table with the other panelists, Suzuki was perfectly still, his eyes fixed on a spot somewhere in front of him, seemingly zoned out in some world of his own.  But when a sudden gust of wind blew some papers across the table, Suzuki alone among  the panelists made a lightening grab for them.  He wasn't zoned out - he was paying keen attention in the Zen fashion.
