Finding resonance, opens many such avenues of exploration (rather than
seeking). Always enjoyed Watts, and much of the rest you mention - and
I'll see what I can find from that monk... Lately writings attributed to
Bodhidharma bring the familiar laughter... What can I say, when it comes
to all this I'm a bit of a barbarian myself.
