No, seriously not seeking other "favors of zen", as you write, Kris, but asking
what may be important to you about our Topic.
I thought you were the fellow quoting long tracts of text, providing no
motivation for posting it, and making no comment on it afterward. This is one
of the practices that I think has spoiled a number of forums, because they
became (past-tense) disorganized palimpsests of third-party writing, with a
dearth or complete lack of communication. If it was not you who did this here,
then no problem (as people say nowadays).
Anyway, it's immensely interesting to me to know folks' ideas and impressions
of practice, and about zen. It doesn't help my practice, really, but
nonetheless I far prefer *that* sort reading and sharing to reading third-party
unmotivated uncommented quotes.
Haiku on the other hand are not bad to quote, because they are blessedly short
and pithy, usually meaningful, and they are usually better left without
motivation and commentary anyway, to be sure. ;-)
But we know that folks will post what they need to.
