The student asked the master - "what is zen?" the master asked - "Have you finished your breakfast?" "yes." replied the student. "Then wash your bowl."
Lol, is that anything like this story????
When I and my ex bought this house, it needed some appliances for the kitchen. I went out and bought a new range, microwave, and refrigerator. I installed them and she came home and instead of saying "yay, we have new stuff", she said "we still dont have a dish washer". At this point, I handed her a sponge and some dish detergent and said "sure we do". Lol, is that ZEN??????
Nah, just me being a prick.
WE MISS YOU SWEETY..............Let us know whets going on with you.
