no. the penguin is not speaking to me.

i went to the grocery store to buy a couple ingredients
for a pot of chilli. i had to pass the floral section to
get to the checkout register and i saw this little guy:



i named him after our friend koan and put him in
my zen garden. it was pretty windy and cold here
last night and i woke up to find little koanie screaming
for help...

"help! i've fallen, and i can't get up!"

without even thinking about it, i picked him up and moved him to a more protected
location over by the birdbath.



koan: a paradox to be meditated upon that is used to train Zen students to abandon
ultimate dependence on reason and to force them into gaining sudden intuitive
enlightenment.


eureka. it's working. i moved him intuitively.

do you think i should have stood him back upright or was it best to leave him lying down
so he can get some rest while he heals up? (there i go trying to reason again)
