I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

A Corrective
Hide is where the stone
Barks -- but stones can’t bark! If struck
Together, they spark.
Not to know these things
Is to be unobservant.
Flayed bark kills off trees.
The same happens to
Cattle, whose hide, skinned, leaves them
Raw, exposed, ravaged.
Only some snakes and
Lizards can slough off their skins
And survive, transformed.
On this stone rock, by
Refining insight, we stand
A chance to survive.
