Didn't feel it told me a story about zen.

It is hard to capture zen or it is so easy to capture that it will almost go unnoticed. Though I like this a lot, I feel it to be bit cluttered for "zen". Well, the moment I start looking for Zen, I surely miss it! 7.

This is stellar. I don't immediately think Zen, but your thoughtful approach made me reconsider and it's perfect.
