If there is no "God" "Allah" or "Stanley", or any source or creator or point to the universe at all, I will fetch water and chop wood, seeking to live in a gentle way, avoiding harm to self and others (not two, by the way).
Catching up on some recent threads...Thank you for this teaching.
I'm catching up on a few threads as well because life is busy with a new baby. Life is busy with a new baby when the new baby gets sick. Life is busy with a new baby who is sick who gets both parents sick. Life is even busier with a new baby who is sick, parents who are sick, baby beginning Montessori school, Mom returning to work! That's been my zen this week. Doing what needs done with joy and care though I feel terrible. (PS: we're all feeling better).
Also: I just wanted to say thanks for this thread, in particular Jundo's "answer."
