On Finding the Way

If at the end of our journey
There is no final
Resting place,
Then we need not fear
Losing our way.

— Ikkyu Sojun (1394–1482), Zen master and poet
[quoted in Jennifer Michael Hecht, Doubt: A History. New York : HarperSanFrancisco, 2003. p. 268.]

I welcome comments -- even dissent -- but I will delete without notice irrelevant, rude, psychotic, or incomprehensible comments, particularly those that I deem homophobic, unless they are amusing. The same goes for commercial comments and trackbacks. Sorry, but it's my blog and my decisions are final.
