Hi Mark Yes, I understood what David Harding was getting at, and perhaps on account of my own personal history of sitting (or walking) zazen I tend to discount the work. Work to me is just work. Sitting is just sitting. Whatever you do, just do. But do it right. And of course many who are not aware of this... that's why I walk into a place today to get the oil changed in my Jeep (which I never do... I always change it myself but I've been so busy and it got away from me so I thought, well, I'll stop into this Quick Lube place) and the radio is blaring some kind of head-banging acid rock and a goofy looking teenage kid with purple hair and a nose ring comes up to me covered with grease and dripping oil from his clothes and wonders if he can help me. Ummm, no thanks, I said, and turned around and walked right back out. Now, that kid looked like he was working, of that I have no doubt. But all the work in the world isn't going to get him even a little bit closer to Dynamic Quality. I can pretty much guarantee that. That was my point to David Harding, and I stand by it.
