Mike, Merle,
"A shedding of dirty clothes", the Old Man used to say; "even down to your
socks".
He talked about awakening as being "nakedness". Having nothing. Wu (Chin.).
Mu (Japanese). How true.
But, no embarrassment! This is original Human nakedness. Our original
inheritance.
And, no one to see.
One Mind ...if THAT many.
No Mind.
Well... .
What's for dinner?
