Good morning


On Sundays I like reading the paper and relaxing, and finding ways to shake up my thinking.


Here is a koan I came across somewhere:


A philosopher said to a master, "Our judgements can err. I try to doubt things and disbelieve what cannot be proven, so that I will not hold false beliefs."


The master closed his eyes.


"What are you doing?", the philosopher asked.


"When I walk, I sometimes bump into things," the master explained. "I am closing my eyes so that the room will be empty."
