Zazen

1. God is full, full of rain, and dry, dry as light. 2. The clock-man winds his clock spending many an hour. The clock, however, winds itself; if he knew that, he would not waste time. 3. When God pours milk into God, does God ever drip from the corners of His mouth? 4. He knew that he would travel farther so he became the road and arrived without leaving. 5. She had a vision that her eyes fell out and when they did, she put them in a locked box so she would not lose her sight. 6. Half and half is one minus that is none more than that is sum less is chewing gum. 7. When I sing on a swing I oftentime sing of a thing on a swing that can more or less sing of a thing on a swing that can sing of a thing on a swing. (inspired by a correspondence with J.D. Salinger)
