Note From The Author:
The inspiration for this Ix ok came tram Zen Master Mich Nhat Hanh. In one of his talks, he held up a piece of paper and asked, "Can you see the logger in this piece of paper?" I was confused and looked hard to see a picture of a logger. Then he asked, Can you 'see the sun in this paper? Can you see the rain in the paper? Can you see the forest in the paper?" He concluded by saying, The entire universe is in this piece of paper. Everything is in everything." And I thought, "Then the humpback must he in the herring!"
