My old friend the Dharma bum who blogs (sadly, only as the whim strikes, and that appears to happen rarely) as Weasel Tracks puts it all on the line & reveals for us the great way:
Question: Do you believe in God?
Answer: No.
Question: So, you are an atheist!
Answer: No.
Question: Then what do you believe in?
Answer: As little as possible.
If you want to understand Zen, my friends, Uncle Weasel has opened his mouth and revealed not only his innards, but the whole glorious mess…
Good luck on your way…
