@luckytran Spouse survived clean 3 years then had to go in for diverticulitis. Had 5 shots and a pile of N95s, got Covid in the waiting room full of sick babies. Or, maybe, it was the doctor who got mad every time she caught him standing by her bedside unmasked and reminded him of the policy (there was one). Also, the rooms had no doors. Sliding curtains everywhere.

@inthehands It helps to know that Dogen was a kind of jazz musician of Buddhist concepts, saying whatever he thought would be most helpful to those around at the moment, even if it contradicted what he said the day before. If you like to sit still sometimes, as Otis Redding did at the dock of the bay, you're covered. 😎 🙏

@inthehands Wow, this was good. TYVM.

I got through three degrees and a library career (every quarter I taught a new crew of work study students how to staff a university reference desk) by posting this above my desk:

A paper has three parts. Assert, A=B, B=C, ∴ A=C, or refute, A=B, B≠C, ∴ A≠C.

Not always applicable, perhaps, but, armed with it, the crews gave good reference assistance. 😅
