Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.
Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor’s cup full, and then kept on pouring.
The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. “It is overfull. No more will go in!”
“Like this cup,” Nan-in said, “you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?

Dear Visitor(s),
As of late March 2026 I’ve removed a significant portion of my work that’s been publicly available since 2020 in order to focus on some new ideas. Some I may share here, and for those of you with eyes on my “lab”, don’t expect to find anything there — I’ve fool-proofed it : )
Best wishes,
Robert

What do a detective, a horse and a DJ have in common?
If you can answer in person by midnight, April 20, 2026, we will know each other.
Love you.
Writing in this place
Feels just like the human race
Filling in a face
Never wiser than children
Children always fools
Children always future
