    You are so right, Dear Poppers, it was time to see that again.

    What a great metaphor!

    I have another metaphor for you, that a friend just shared with me. He read it in "Pass The Jelly; Tales of Ordinary Enlightenment" by Gary Crowley, in which the narrator makes witty Zen observations as he wanders through his day. The narrator has a discussion with some Jehovah's Witnesses who came to his door. He tells them, "It seem to me you folks are worshiping the teapot instead of drinking the tea". I love that.

    Love,
    Baba.

    Me too. Zen has a way of cutting right to the bone.
