A beautiful springtime day in the city of the power of evil. I continue to attempt to survive the circumstance.
After many years of this, I hope I have managed to preserve (the uncarved block, DT Suzuki's pail of water before the door), rather than be determined by the adversity. I really have only one determination that might be said to be consequent from it, namely, not ever to serve any person or organization who could have caused it -- and to survive their reaction to that.
