No End

I looked at this old rakusu while I was standing by the closet in the dimness of the living room, light coming in from the kitchen where the tea kettle was puffing out the first hints of a whistle. No end to delusion. That sounds right. No end to enlightenment. That's good to hear. Suzuki used to say that there was no end to suffering, which made sense to me as I plodded back into the kitchen.  ----------------Shunryu Suzuki quoted in Thank You &OK!: an American Zen Failure in Japan.
