joe .....mandela  is my hero...merle


  
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.

--Joe
