To Zen or Not to Zen?
What is the point of one hand blogging?

I've just been reading an article in Tricycle about badly-behaving Buddhist bloggers and a few aphorisms come to mind:
• Don't just do something, sit there!
• If you have nothing to say, shut up.

The next thing that comes up is how I have had, or I think I have had, lots of things to say, huge amounts, but to whom? There's nobody home. We seem to think that's a virtue in some of our discussions. If the quarterback throws a great pass but there's nobody there to receive it, is that a good thing to a Buddhist?

Stream of Unconsciousness

I think I had something to say but I forgot what it was.
