Merle,
Leave it to these Mortals, to look a gift-horse in the mouth!
(they raise a dust, and complain that they cannot see; they
receive a Cheesecake, and complain it is rich for their blood!)
It's not a Trojan-Horse, don't be afraid of Content.
(When you practice with it, you make it as short as you need to. There's an
abundance of resources in a koan because you never know what is going to light
someone's Dharma Candle. This is as it's been throughout history: I am not
trying to stand out, nor to fit in).
A koan case looks like this. We've seen none from Edgar.
So I have taken a dancer by the arms and gone out onto the floor. I like the
sawdust out there... I am at home.
