"Choosing Your Battle" number 114 of 200 from Robert Aitken's book Miniatures of a Zen Master.
I'm unable to get anything out of today's miniature. Of course, that in itself is something. I can 'choose my own battles' and this miniature isn't one of them.

LOL for the first time I feel the motivation to work this book into my reading line up.
ReplyDeleteYou made me smile. The first time I couldn't come up with any commentary on a miniature is the time you get motivated to look at the book?
ReplyDeleteTrying to expressing some perceived grand understanding comes off stiff and stale while giving up and being honest encourages both writer and reader.
