KOAN: Where Is Joyce?"

Answer: Buying some new Kundalini tricks?

BONG! Wrong answer. Who would want anything that could be bought or sold?

Now some searching for the self.

Let me know when you find One, 'Joyce' might be there too.

Love you love me,

Alton

Love you love me

All paths go

somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions,

and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back

into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of

Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It

is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the

Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of

Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.

Hey, Hey, hey...tea on the house! Joyce is the teahouse lady!

She's baaaack....

Love, Glo

 

Teahouse practice means that you don't explicitly talk about Zen. It

refers toleading your life as if you were an old woman who has a

teahouse by the side ofthe road. Nobody knows why they like to go

there, they just feel good drinkingher tea. She's not known as

Buddhist teacher, she doesn't say, "This is the Zenteahouse." All she

does is simply serve tea - but still, her decades ofattentiveness are

part of the way she does it. No one knows about her faithfulattention

to the practice, it's just there, in the serving of the tea and theway

she cleans the counters and washes the cups.~~by Jane HirshfieldFrom

Drae Joyce and list,

Oops, ... ... ... from now on I will not spell check 'dera' or 'drea'

or 'drae' into dear anymore... It is Qwerty and stands for, "I love

you so. (Dutch 'lieve'.)

> ..."Where Is Joyce?"> ...She's gone to the store but will return in

a few minutes.

My first experience of going to a store all by myself was when I was

seven years old. When I came home, I came back empty handed, I had

forgotten the Pyckwyck tea that I was supposed to bring for my

mother. My mother, who in those days only spoke in sayings, said

:"When you have brains, you needs legs." ("Als je geen hersens hebt,

moet je benen hebben.") I did not dare go back, nor did my mother

force me.

The little corner store was run by my uncle and aunt... Five years

ago, I found out about his early pedophilia. Then I figured out why I

did not bring back the tea and also why I could not go back... I have

some vague normal memories about what happened... mostly the dark

back room. Through hypnosis I recovered the whole episode.

Now I can say: "When you've lost the use of your brain, you will

eventually find compassion" (Dutch 'barmhartigheid', Latin

'misericordia", English 'mercy or 'compassion'.)

Jesus at one point used an expression that got translated with the

words: perfect, holy, and merciful. I love that guy.

"Who has merci, needs no legs."

Love, Wim
