Quote

    I sit on top of a boulder
    the stream is icy cold
    quiet joys hold a special
       charm
    bare cliffs in the fog
       enchant
    this is such a restful place
    the sun goes down
      and tree shadows sprawl
    I watch the ground
      of my mind
    and a lotus comes out
       of the mud
    The Collected Songs
      of Cold Mountain

Ordinary Delusions

May 11th, 2006 by jack

Much of life is the mundane business of staying alive, living with others, and dealing with a world that is alive, ornery, joyful, and full of misery all at the same time. Believing this world doesn’t exist is delusion, and believing it does exist is delusion.

So, until this delusion is transcended, much of ordinary life is dealing with things as they really appear to be, while not quite believing the appearance.

Comments about current events will fit here.
