Koan of the Week

The sign on the gym door said "Showing up is half the battle." As he scanned his ID, Master Li Kim Grebnesi remarked to the woman at the counter, "Too bad the other half is so hard."
"If it's hard," she replied, "break it into quarters."
Master Li Kim conceded "You are the master now."

Master Li Kim's Commentary: First Gate of Mindfulness Practice: "Be in the Present". Dividing the timeline into ever-smaller pieces is a useful technique for achieving this.

Master Li Kim's Haiku:

At the gym Friday
Dale Hawkins strummed his guitar
Over the PA.

Thank you for the comment. That is a very apt analogy.
