Koan Summer: Faith in the Wild

A koan gets us off the bleachers of our life. It pushes us out of our comfort zone and into the game, saying "discover something." We have to rely on something deep and intrinsic the thinking mind can't grasp, and trust in our own awakening. If we come out of the other side of a koan, we might be roughed up a bit, but we are lighter, more free, and more alive.
