Holy Feces! And I rather mean it!1) Evoking: No doubt about it...holding my shitbrain in the palm of my hand.
2)Puzzling: All words that come after "Genjokoan."
3)Connecting: An old russian-german once told me: "Sir, we live off the wind." It seemed a weather observation...now, much more, a weather balloon.
4)Naming: "Winding up a fan"
5)Actualizing: Place the world in the palm of my hand.
6)Seeing/bowing: Odd question, odd syntax--no bow....full prostration required.
As I've returned to this zenspeak world of late, the question has arisen a few times: Do stupid people study Zen? Or Do people who think they're pretty smart study Zen? Must say, a certain amount of dumbness (and I mean that in a positive way) may be an advantage. My first (and only!) book of poetry was so entitled: DUMB AS THEY COME!
If my premise is correct, then I may be well-suited to the way-seeking, the good Red Road, as we say here in New Mexico. Sure send my best to one and all.
