Well to paraphrase the famous Koan about the goose and the bottle, if you can imagine an old drunk guy sitting next to you in a train getting all scatalogical and all, then you can equally imagine a train or any other conveyance such as a cruise ship and instead of a smelly old drunk guy, you can imagine your companion to be a beautiful and charming young lady (or wolverine, if that's your thing!) who is totally into you, smells like honeysuckle and well, let your imagination do the rest but in a feel good, smells lovely sort of way. That's the beauty of Zen. The universe is elastic and we can stretch our imaginations and the universe itself. Of course, if you keep insisting on the glass half full, and only filled with waste products, hey, then I cannot liberate you...
