I have found a guru

Walking to college this morning I was thinking about the Zen koan dealing with non-attachment. I started thinking that being attached to something strongly [maybe solely] related to how much one worries about said thing. I mentioned it to Brian when I got into the office:

Mairtin: it occured to me this morning

zen preaches the idea of non-attachment

Brian: ...naturally

Mairtin: and I had not thought of it before but worrying about something is nearly the definition of attachment

..

it sounded more profound in my head

Brian: LOL

{...}

Brian: [nods sagely, and looks on peacefully]

Mairtin: the corrollory is you never hear of zen millionaire hermits or CEOs...

Brian: true, but a zen man cares not for these things, i am content with a sunset or the sound of the wind

The man blew my mind with his response. Worthy words indeed
