Ways shaped, digs into my soul, until all act are actless, thus adding what is left, there is nothing right, but thought without self.

in act, the soul of me, 
adding thoughts does nothing

koan #12: removed

A collaboration of @jimiwen and @scrtcmthdst. 
Sowing apple-seeds, a forest appears.

No-self asking, is *this* what we feel?

Act without thought,
there nothing no I in me, 
the shapes that are right, 
is just what is left of tao.

We found these in the attic, possibly left behind from previous tenants?

1. Kids these days
2. We had to walk ten miles in the snow
3. We knew how to make good sandwiches
4. Coffee was a nickel
5. Kids these days
6. Why pickles should come in a barrel
