Master Joshu said the Great Way was the road to the capital
Alan Watts said the Way that can be “Wayed” is not the Way
Lao Tzu said the Great Way could not be named
What wonderful teaching we have received
What wonderful teaching we receive this very moment
Still we struggle to travel the way
We struggle with work, relationships, fear, sadness, death,
Sarah Palin, The Dallas Cowboys, taxes
Don’t worry
The Great Way doesn’t go anywhere

Reading this I felt appreciative, I laughed, and felt hope all at the same time.
Feeling thankful that the Great Way doesn’t go anywhere, whether or not I remember it.
Thank you Sensei- I needed to hear this today. I am so thankful that you remember to remind me. Without it, I think I would be wandering around completely lost and failing to see the magic around me.
It is so great to be here, with no where to go, struggles and all! Thanks for the the sentiment and the laugh!
Daniel, the way you write, makes me feel the pulse of life.
Thank you
WOW! this blew me away.
I mean, yes, okay – each blogpost here does that, but well… errr. this one had it condensed, hit the proverbial nail on the head!
and it just comes to me: Mabye a world without Sarah Palin, the Dallas Cowboys, sore throats, hiccuppy internet connection, buggy software, cloudy days, taxes and crowded laundromats -… wouldn’t be what we naturally expect it to be: kind of problem-less; A “heaven on earth” seamlessly weaving into our everday experience… a world without troubles, see no hear no speak no evil… The War with the Little Things finally giving way to the Great Wayness… (if only I didn’t have that mosquito-bite behind my left ear)^^
thanks for the pointer
gonna keep on skipping from pebble to pebble!
cheers
