I read a short koan in what can only be termed as a "coffee table" book on Bushido. long time ago. I had no idea what a koan was. No preparation. and no beliefs. No seeking for clarity, truth, or anything. Just reading and seeing what it said and wondering why some people would find something like this relevant.

Well, I never really understood it. And I don't remember it. But, I felt my "insides" and my consciousness, shift then. There was a deepening of my own identity, and I'm glad of it.
