My last koan was “how do I reconcile my desire to live joyously with my desire to end others’ suffering?”

In a dream I touched a hot pan, and as I pulled away I dropped both the pan and my question.

What was left was something else: another question, but one which was also it’s own answer, followed by another question which was also it’s own answer,

over and over, moment after moment:

life…life…life.
