Zen Story

I love this story, it's a good reminder of living in the moment and dropping held tight beliefs, feelings & views. 

Two monks were returning home in the evening to their temple. It had been raining and the road was very muddy. They came to an intersection where a beautiful girl was standing, unable to cross the street because of the mud. Just in the moment, the first monk picked her up in his arms and carried her across. The monks then continued on their way. Later that night, the second monk, unable to restrain himself any longer, said to the first, "How could you do that?! We monks should not even look at females, much less touch them. Especially young and beautiful ones." " I left the girl there,", the first monk said, " are you still carrying her?"
