  One day I will play the accordion up in heaven, among the clouds. There, where the air has no weight, where sound does not hurt. I will sit within the soft whiteness, and my fingers — those trembling witnesses of earthly imperfection — will move smoothly, confidently, without fear. There my hand will not make mistakes from the neurological disorder I have , because in eternity there is no misfired impulse, no confused message between brain and muscle, no clash between will and body. There everything becomes pure intention, an endless flow of sound and light, a complete merging between what I want and what I can .

This helps practitioners to become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, and to gain a deeper understanding of their true nature. By centering, one can cultivate a sense of presence and reduce stress, leading to greater well-being and happiness.

In Zen Buddhism, the concept of a deity or God is not central to the practice. Instead, the focus is on the individual's own personal experience and inner transformation through meditation and mindfulness. The goal of centering is not to communicate with a deity, but rather to gain insight into one's own mind and to cultivate a state of peace and awareness. This can lead to a deeper understanding of the nature of reality and a sense of interconnectedness with all things, but it is not viewed as a means of communicating with a divine being.
