    Bwaha! Now I must listen.

    Joy Zipper aside, Alan Watts, like DT Suzuki, has a lot of historical value (to read what turned on the Beats, etc.)—but, aprés Miles Davis, “Tito, man, that is some tired shit.” Now if you’re ever damfool enough to want a smokin’ Zen reading list, you just let me know.

    Some kind of dream with you in it last night, in which we’re all wearing Marie Antoinette (Coppola-style) costumes? And singing choral music. Too much poblano pizza before bed.

    And now you have me seeking out this Sabrina Orah Mark chick via ILL and it’s ALL YOUR FAULT.

    Maybe so, but color me absolutely clueless about anything, you know, buddhist. Most of the reading available to me was new age self help manuals–this was a survey. You dig? We’ll see where it goes after I’m done.

    Pick up a little book called “Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind.” You can read any page, any time. Just a suggestion.
