“In order not to leave any traces, when you do something, you should do it with your whole body and mind; you should be concentrated on what you do. You should do it completely, like a good bonfire. You should not be a smoky fire. You should burn yourselves completely . . . Zen activity is activity which is completely burned out, with nothing remaining but ashes.”
–Shunryu Suzuki, Beginner’s Mind (quoted in Katherine Angel, Unmastered)
