Merle,
He's in trouble in the hospital. We may hear of the passing of a S. African
ex-President soon. Bad pneumonia, both lungs, now. It isn't looking good.
BTW, I almost worked at the Obs'y at Bloemfontein.
There is no pinnacle of humanness. That disrespects humans. There is only
behavior, and Character.
Zen practice is for "the perfection of human Character". Perfection is the
Original. It is not an attainment. Not a pinnacle. It is an erasure of all
attainments.
