A little like falling in love, giving ourselves to Zen practice involves the same dreamy seduction, loss of logical faculties and idealisation that accompanies our initial commitment to romance and the path of love: otherwise, were we to truly know what lay ahead of us, we would never commit to the actual and necessary heartbreak that in the midst of the coming silence, always lies in wait.

A real down to Earth, clear as a cut diamond pulse of Zen. Zen is a takedown, not for sissies or the faint of heart or weak of mind.
I am not able to ZEN, but I can rest in the alive stillness of silence and feel joy. A humble and honest essay, Sir, I appreciate the truth so eloquently said. Geraldine

Evening greetings Mr. Whyte,

Amazingly accurate - beginning in tears and ending in tears.
Only tasted this. Feels a bit like Christmas morning as my copy of the book is on the way here. Don't want to peek! Thank you...
