I like most of Edward Monkton’s stuff, but he got this one wrong…
Being Zenny is not about not knowing where one is going,
or letting external conditions rule over one’s life without question or reshaping them.
Zen Dog above seems too laid back, and probably even fatalistic or hedonistic?
Yes, Zen is about being at ease and free from worldly attachments,
but to just drift and bum around is not Zen!
Zen practitioners aim for enlightenment, for instance,
and to guide others to the same goal.
The destination matter, just as the ride does.
If the destination doesn’t matter, one would be adrift in circles in the sea of Samsara.
Zen is the Middle Path between being process and goal oriented.
