"Barbara O’Brien’s wide-ranging account of Zen history is conveyed with a master storyteller’s ability to keep the forest from getting lost in a myriad of trees.

You still shouldn’t let your kid ride a bike without a helmet. There are no valuable life lessons in a skull fracture, and the helmet doesn’t get in the way of experiencing anything new out there that a bike can bring you to.
Thanks, Barbara! That’s a good one.
I like it, but I couldn’t help reflecting on a certain more recent person who was an alcoholic with a string of business failures, but became president anyway. It wasn’t pretty.
