The 13th century zen master Dogen wrote in his [i]Genjokoan[/i]:-
[i]Therefore, if there are fish that would swim or birds that would fly only after investigating the entire ocean or sky, they would find neither path nor place. When we make this very place our own, our practice becomes the actualization of reality[/i]
