how are we going to ever be pure and true to zen if we are always busy polishing... goodness me.. surely it's the moment the very essence of existence .. that tiny second that we relish.. sifting and policing the moment will destroy the joy of being... constantly chattering in our minds about zen does not get you there there are zen folk out there who would not even know zen exists,, yet they may well be the very true blue zen folk.. living in the moment breathing the moment fully aware fully activated when one begins too think to much one destroys when one tries to police oneself and others one destroys destroys what? the very purity that is zen merle Joe,
Most of what I write he is purely extemporaneous. I don't often re-read and edit it. Sometimes I start a sentence with one thought in mind but that changes a little before the end of the sentence. The result sometimes is not representative of my best rhetoric or prose. If it continues to be a problem let me know and I'll start polishing my writing up before posting. ...Bill! --- In [email protected], "Joe" wrote: > > Bill!, > > Making we work too hard.
