And I keep admiring the brilliant simplicity and cleanliness of the drawing! Thanks, MB, for linking to this.
I've never seen Daily Zen before! What a great way to start the day.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think about tracks, I always think of the tracks at Laetoli. In those we see who we really are too.
I love to check it nearly every day. Some days have a more, ummm, easily grasped message for me, eh. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Laetoli linkage too. It's always so cool to see the past in action.
Namaste.
Cold Mountian, reminds me of Dharma Bums...the end part.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I would simply invent the disappearance of the tracks. Ah well, someday - sigh.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, MB has been posting the daily Zen on and off for a while now.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2007 to all!
Bloggy love to AG! :)
