just in :here's a bagatelle from ed mycue in san francisco concerning his friend james broughton who, in 1977, saw his book Seeing the Light published in city lights in san fran. he wrote that OZ is a different order of nonsense than ZEN, that Zen is the moment of awareness and Tao is letting the moment go. Zen sees everything that is. Tao moves with everything as it flows.
James wrote when the zen master pointed at the moon, he said," why are you looking at my finger?" Zen as an art of seeing does not follow a script; and " like my poet friends who are also devotees of Oz... I make my own OZ just as I make my own Zen."
So if Zen is seeing everything and Tao is the art of letting the moment go; then practicing Zen also allows you to see the script, which I believe, as peaceful as the practice of Zen is supposed to be...it can drive one to madness also, especially if they don't learn the art of Tao with it..the art of letting the moment go (allowing the script to just happen on its own). Maybe true Atma, rather than just dying peacfuly under a tree taking all of life's secret's with you, is circular like the process of creation as where Zen is understanding the process of creation:) Question is how do they fit together or overlap for that matter?
elijah almost expired under a small tree and then he saw the storm clouds on the horizon. he had no secrets left and he gave them all up. so then rain came.could have been dali out therein the desert, but he was too much of a dandy to go run his finger thru sand, his moustacshe yes. maybe get down and gritty.
yes, nice to know how the four winds blow, the challenge set in stone by CT Rass-a manespro-fundo and the Who. the wrist cracks under the strain. why did I choose to stretch a 50 ft canvas in vain when my visual answer could have been contained in a quatrain or a runaway carriage assisted by sysiphis and his merry band of flea circus performers humping his big toe. why?
