Porting Zen 1
This is stolen from a book:
"Before a person studies Zen, mountains are mountains and waters are waters; after a first glimpse into the truth of Zen, mountains are no longer mountains and waters are no longer mountains; after enlightenment, mountains are once again mountains, and waters once again waters."
This is my porting of the idea to love:
"Before a person has had love, touches are just touches and sex is just sex; after a first love, touches are no longer just touches and sex is more than just sex; once you've found out the truth of love, touches are just touches and sex is just sex."
I hope to one day to easily live the truth of love instead of just talk of it and practice it occasionally. I think Terry and Kevin understand it. I'm sure many others here do too.
