Question
DEAR ONLINE MASTER, HOW I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU GIVING ME INSTRUCTIONS THAT LEAD TO AWAKENING, IN THE MIDDLE OF WHATEVER WORK OR ACTIVITY I MIGHT BE DOING. I HAVE MANY QUESTIONS, BUT… NEVER MIND. THEY ARE NOT URGENT. I AM STILL VERY GREEN; I STILL EAT MY BOOGERS, BUT I STUDY THE PHILOSOPHY OF PRACTICE WITH ALL DUE RESPECT AND THE DESIRE TO FOLLOW AND OBEY THE COSMIC ORDER. GREETINGS, AND MY GREATEST ADMIRATION FOR YOU. A GREETING FULL OF JOYFUL VIBRATIONS FOR YOU AND FOR THE GREAT MASTER DESHIMARU, WHOSE BOOKS ARE MY REFERENCE IN THIS ZEN WITHOUT ZEN, AT LEAST IN MY DAILY LIFE. I AM A LITTLE ASHAMED THAT MY EVERYDAY CONSCIOUSNESS IS SO ORDINARY—NOT ORDINARY IN THE SENSE OF EVERYDAY, BUT TOO FAR ABOVE NONTHINKING, FLOATING LIKE A DIZZY DUCK ON CALM WATER. THANK YOU, MASTER, FOR BEING THERE. I KEEP HOPING TO SEE YOU IN ZAZEN. HUMBLY, GREETINGS WITH MY HANDS JOINED.
