Zen is Development

By Thomas Skead

Talking Zen.This revised edition finds a clearer sense of spiritual comfort, as tested by the world's serial vicissitudes. Readers will like the freedom to start at any place in the book, and can find their own balance, among the 117 essays. Some will like the stories (you meet some characters including a family of cows) or there are verse and plays. For the reader, a thoughtful series of essays about one man's development from an 8 year old to his 80s.

Skead's early stages had the lift of already having focused on Robert Pirsig's questions, striving, here is their life journey beyond the words - even his title. This takes the reader to Teilhard de Chardin, and later Hans Kung. Both Roman priests: scholars, going to meaning, the future, despite stiff resistance. He is to correspond with the latter as well as writing about him. Gore Vidal; on the other hand, is the subject of critical daylight.

Later, the same tight discussion will find Descartes too.
