Bill!,
It's such a lovely statement, and a lovely reality, and absolutely true.
Yet, it needs saying over and over, and all the best zen literature results in
this concentrated distillation. It's great to encounter your statement of it
here.
And it's clear you did not simply glean this from the zen literature. ;-)
Thanks!!
