[Lucifer]

Ah. A boo boo. Here, let Uncle Lux make it better.

It is just fiction.

It is like Doc Holiday starring as the Bourne Identity and his
sidekick Guatama Buddha meets Steven King (whose secret identity is
Jesus Christ... whose secret identity is Muhammad) vs. The Great
Biblical Apocolypse.

Like the disclaimer states: It is purely coincidental if any of this
is real. But since we believe that Chaos is the rule and not the
exception, then none of this can really happen. It would be like
rolling a 7 on a six-sided dice.

So I have been thinking a lot about it. How can I give my format a
real overhaul to address the changing times in this hip new pool of
students. So, I decided, while I reload with a ton of reading this
winter, I will also begin reading the contributions of others here and
provide notes, comments and critisisms.

So, get yourself polished and start submitting your work... if you
dare. Hahaha.

But please, if you want to show even a little bit of class and
mastery, write without hope or expectation. In that Zen book... what
was it called... Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind or something... Zen is
described as simply writting without thought but for expression.

That is the true mastery of the Haiku for example. Not sitting there
thinking, planning and consructing something with a certain amount of
sylablles and structure... but can you just,... without memorization
or hesitation say or write a Haiku in the flow of a single stroke of
the quill. Few can.

Non-action. You will be glad you did.

Gentle Peace.
