KW NORTON BORDERS - HOW COME CONSPIRACIES ALWAYS COME TRUE?
Nowhere reminds me of that thing Buddhists call Beginner’s Mind. I’m stealing this of course from Zen Buddhism’s shoshin and Shunryu Suzuki’s Zen Mind Beginner’s Mind, and I’ve written about it numerous times. But it’s more fundamental than most people realize.
Approaching Life With Beginner’s Mind, by Leo BaBauta
Who can forget the institution of the San Francisco Zen Center founded by Shunryu Suzuki, in the old days of the San Francisco Bay Area?
[sic] This interlude is from me, not KW Norton: A few of us idealistic hippies from Chogyam Trungpa’s group drove out from the mountains outside Boulder Colorado in winter 1970 to come to the SF Zen Center and also hoped to meet Bill Kwong somewhere in Mill Valley. I don’t remember if we met Bill Kwong, now known as Jakusho Kwong-roshi, founder and residing abbot of Sonoma Mountain Zen Center, but we did spend the night in sleeping bags near the Depot in MV before hitchhiking to Tassajara (we walked the last 17 miles), where we were not welcomed (you had to make a reservation) but got to spend the night because my boyfriend Clarke was needed on a search expedition to find a missing meditator. On the way back to SF, we wound up in Joan Baez’s hot tub near Carmel with a friend who was part of The Resistance (David Harris’ organization), and knew Joan. She wasn’t there but the view was out of this world. [/sic] yes, I know this isn’t proper HTML or citation but you get the pic… a mistake in using sic. Just that KW Norton’s stack brought back 50 years of memoriesBack to KW NORTON: IN THE BEGINNERS MIND ARE MANY POSSIBILITIES - IN THE EXPERTS THERE ARE FEW
Now San Francisco has fallen and remains under siege. Held hostage painfully by the World Economic Forum.
