And All Manner of Things ARE Well

     “Actually everything, just as it is, is a koan, the expression of perfection. To realize this perfection is the working out of a living koan. All koans – and there are many of them – express this perfection in different forms, but all of them reveal the essential perfection of existence lying beyond the realm of ever-changing appearances.”
