Miles Davis said that he did not recognize his instrument in the « trumpet-trumpet »…
In the same way, I do not recognize my practice in Zen-Zen.
As soon as I allow myself to distance myself, a double movement follows:
-of softening (1)
-of deepening (2)
The pressure of the framework ceases its formatting work with its partial dissolution (1) and allows for freer experimentation (2).
The trumpet-trumpet is necessary to teach or speak about the trumpet,
Yet the essence of the trumpet lies elsewhere.

Poetry, transcending words..
With word..
Maybe the only way to escape a system wth the tools that locked us in.
Words as the key…
