Re: Zen,

I have nothing against Zen, though I will never get my legs to bend like
that, but I wonder if we couldn't attribute the ability to suspend the
need for a desired outcome to something already inside.

Why, when we come upon something we admire, do we often attribute it to
some force or philosophy outside us?

I think I am, frankly, pretty good at suspending desire for outcomes.
Maybe I was born that way.  Maybe it's a human attribute the comes with
the ability to grow up.
