    Got it, most likely won't have the ability to follow along with the book club. But it should make for pleasant reading at sea.

        So how will we do this; knock off one Koan/week? (Kidding) I feel that we are going to have no option but come out with something and make fools of my/ourselves - the objective maybe

            I think this is all a trick by Taigu. He gets us interested in this book, and we all wait for him, but the koan is in our waiting. :-)
            I know nothing.

                Yes. In Japanese and Chinese paintings, the empty space is as talkative as the ink. Can you hear?

                    ... that is a very beautiful painting - though the 'hearing' is not with my ears.

                        If that's the case, then I've been saying an awful lot over the past undefined time period :shock:

                        I love the painting too, and am really looking forward to delving into the book. Koans always make me feel dumb, so maybe I'll learn just a whole lot!

                            /Pontus
                            In a spring outside time, flowers bloom on a withered tree;
                            you ride a jade elephant backwards, chasing the winged dragon-deer;
                            now as you hide far beyond innumerable peaks--
                            the white moon, a cool breeze, the dawn of a fortunate day
