one spread a day. two pages, two voices, one thing they're both looking at. sometimes they agree from different sides. sometimes they flat out disagree, and you get to hold both.

the voices come from all over. the bible, the buddha, the gita, the tao, the sufis, the people who were on this continent first. under the rules and the arguments, every tradition has people who went looking for the thing itself, and they come back sounding a lot alike.

you don't have to believe any of it. the zen people have a name for the way in, don't know mind. read it like you don't already know what it means.

an underlined word opens. the question at the bottom is the part to sit with, and the line under it is one to carry through the day. the people behind the spreads live in the whole forest, up at the top.
