So post your own Zen story. As the Verizon (?) ad says: You have Permission to Speak Freely. When did you think you ever had a Zen Moment? I think the first time that I can remember a monumental life altering mind-blowing experience was probably the first time that I understood what Christmas was and found a whole bunch of toys under the tree. I believed that some guy in a red suit had been inside my home leaving toys. It was real for me. The next few Christmases were just as awesome. Then at some point some asshole kid (maybe it was Fudo?) told me that Santa Claus did not exist, and then all his friends ridiculed me, and probably beat me up too (memory is hazy about that). That kind of ruined Christmas for me, as the kids of course had to explain (between beatings) that parents hid the toys, etc. ------------------------ Yahoo!
