The Zen Guy (9)

Then we come (pun intended) as all things must, to the question of the red thread.

The Zen Guy was enmeshed in its jealous embrace for a good portion of the latter half of the last decade.

The red thread tuned him on his head.   And the reverberations continue.

If we want to think about this rationally, and of course, that is precisely not the point, it goes something like this:  on one hand, we have the koan that the Bodhisattva does not avoid the red thread.

On the other hand, we have the somewhat more mundane notion  that the "little head" should not think for the "big head."

Beware the little head, it will get you into trouble.

Are we allowed to have a third hand?

Recently, the Zen Guy noticed that the little head had kept him out of certain intrigues that the big head would otherwise have entertained.

The little head seems to be much more particular than the big head.

Maybe it just lags (pun intended) behind the big head, if you catch my drift:-)  

When Master Zhang drinks wine, old man Li gets drunk.

When there is no separation between little and big, or the red thread and not the red thread,

then we all can relish the intoxication.

Maybe someday the Zen Guy will be young enough to drink.
