I find it hard to accept that anything that is is not (perfect).  Nature's perfect.  It's perfectly what it is and no more.  I think we agree in a roundabout-sideways way... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />As to Zen.  Zen.. that was alway to hard for me... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  Zen was always the old guy who said, "You already know, you know,"  and then hit me with a stick!here's my funny story....  A follower of a guru finally understands what his teacher has been saying for years.  He knows he is part of everything and everything is part of him.  He hears of an elephant rampaging in a village and he goes to send the elephant away.On his way to the village he meets a man who says, "Stay away! The elephant is mad!" But the student continues on, for he knows that the elephant is him and he'll make it stop when he gets there.Outside the village he meets another man who says, "Flee for your life!  The elephant has killed three!" But the student persevears and enters the village.  He walks calmly up to the elephant.  The elephant throws him around with his trunk and gores him badly and leaves.The master shows up, calms the elephant, and walks over to the student. "Master, I don't understand. I am the Elephant."The master replies, "You are also the two men who told you to flee."joe b.</blockquote>
