Edgar,
That's not yet a koan.
Do you reject the Challenge/Opportunity?
I'd like the koan AS a koan.
Surely I can work on personal koans.
But in order to understand your suggestion of a certain matter being a koan,
however, I need YOUR koan as you would phrase it as a koan. ...and ...in your
words, taking the koan-form as in MUMONKAN, BLUE CLIFF RECORD, BOOK OF
SERENTITY, TRANSMISSION OF THE LAMP, THE NAN-TOU KOANS, or THE WARRIOR KOANS.
The format is pretty standard everywhere; glowing models abound.
Your entry will give all here the chance to understand what you have in mind.
Has the book-writing exhausted the creativity/expressiveness?: well, there's no
sign of that here! (your posts are great). Will you come through for us?
Future reading of said book is future-reading, and to be looked-forward to: The
koan is in question here NOW, so please let us have the koan.
In hopes,
and with encouragement!,
--Joe
