Hey,

So [livejournal.com profile] kellesparta lent me a coipy of Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman, which is a book I've heard of, but never actually read myself.

So I read it.

It is, in brief, an extended Zen story. I like zen stories. A lot. Sadly, my monkey brain is very clever with zen stories and often willfully misses the point. However, the book did come along at an opportune time and remind me of a few important things, so on that note, I'm happy it came my way.

Recommended if you like zen stories.

later

Y'know, at the time I read it I was young and willful and dumb. I was really quite struck by the message (having not really had exposure to that kind of parable) but dismissed it as new-age pap.

Now that I'm older, I find my mine returning to scenes in the books, seeing it a different light.

I should go back and reread it. It might be a good time.
