Genjo-koan is some heavy lifting with the palm of my mudra hand....

I hope that when I am dumb-struck next time I have the decency to bow completely.

Last night finishing chapter of Dosho's book on Katagiri-Roshi, I was moved by this: sitting for non-attainment. Body, Breath, Mind (in the palm of my hand--yeah, right!) embroiled or dancing the dervish of no attainment.

Bow-wow! I gotta' go sit again and visit that conundrum. Boom, boom, boom, that's what the heart says. Could it be that the body is not-pure because it still has to breathe? If only I could still that breathing, could I not exist in stillness for ever?

Bow-shot across the bow of the skimming keel: better go sit again and visit the sacred conundrum, no?
