Bill!,
It's lovely.
Utterly eloquent.
And absolutely the simple truth.
I thought you had written this yourself. I did not doubt it.
Then I noticed the leading quotation-mark, and "the missing trailing one". And
saw the attribution to the Korean master teacher.
What Seung Sahn says is also why I like seeing a pile of dry sticks, and how I
learn from it.
Kudos Meester Beel! Kudos!, Master Sahn.
y muchas gracias a Ustedes.
Cariños,
--Joe
