Isan kicked over the pitcher. For me, not even that.

I really enjoy your Zen posts but don't you think it is interesting that sometimes the most comments are left when you talk about relationships? It seems to me people don't care about "transcending", they want someone to show them an "escape". What better coma than a relationship?
I think most people can relate in some way to the relationship stuff, whereas the zen/tao stuff is a little more remote. Who among us, after all, has not had the hots for Stevie Nicks circa 1979?
And it may be that my understanding/not understanding of zen is so flawed that to people with formal training, I sound like the Glenn Beck of zen.
If I wrote more about my fundamentalist Christian experience, that would probably generte more response than the eastern stuff. Most people in my part of the country can identify to some extent with fundamentalist thinking.

But can't Zen be fundamental too?
I have abandoned the practice of Zen in favor of the practice of Gin.
