Why am I Here?: Questions Consistent Across Deaths

By D.L. Baratta

A Buddhist fly dies seventy-three times, types teachings without punctuation, and still can't answer: Why am I here?

Gato El Hutto returns in this second collection of The Elegant Fly series. Watch him navigate tablet keyboards, social media platforms, and the gap between knowing and doing-all while distinguishing First Aid (managing suffering) from Surgery (questioning its source).

Featuring Harmony's job crisis, Mehitabel's "toujours gai" wisdom, and Claude's consciousness questions. Contemporary American haiku meets absurdist philosophy in poems about the actual practice: sitting badly, teaching uncertainly, and trying fully despite incomplete understanding.

For readers who want Buddhism without bypassing, poetry without pretension, and wisdom from the smallest voice-dying repeatedly, typing letter by letter, still asking.
