I must disobey your request just this on...Teacher.<br /><br />I must disobey your request just this one time to say goodbye. And to tell you just a couple of things.<br /><br />First, I cringe when I read your words calling me a master. Funny, I don't feel like a master. I remember when I was lost and first found your teachings on the computer. Gone to gone. On my way to on my way I was. Drifting. <br /><br />But, If you say it is so now, I will do my best to earn such a title. Everyday.<br /><br />Second, I unfortunately will be unable to call on the sage you mentioned here in Baltimore. Things have come up during my short stay in this city that require me to leave. I will not shame you with the details.<br /><br />And finally, although you wish no further contact, I will still visit when I can to read and learn. To watch from the shadows I guess. Watching from the shadows. Learning under the cover of anonimity. That sounds kind of familiar but I can't quite place where I have heard it before. Some master, huh?<br /><br />Anyway, as I stand around a canned fire tonight waiting for my transport out of here I will remember. I hope that the account I give of myself will measure up to the honor you have bestowed. Goodbye Dear Teacher.<br /><br />ps- I have adopted a small dog here in this city. A small puppy who found me and just would not go away. I think we will travel together now. His name is Lucky.gene simmons(no relation)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12071007.post-87420797244276037992010-03-25T15:53:14.789-04:002010-03-25T15:53:14.789-04:00Gene;
You have been away a long time... Training...Gene;<br /><br />You have been away a long time... Training as an underground barknuckle brawler is among the best possible "Alive" training you could hope for. Please remember you Nietzche:<br /><br />That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.<br /><br />Your ascetic lifestyle, the cold, hard winter, the bout with lung infections, the frequent no holds barred fighting has turned you into a master! I really have no more to teach you...<br /><br />Except this: First, if you intend to continue your Kwai Chang Caine/Itinerent Monk ways, you should visit the Baltimore Zen Center and look up my good friend "MuSaang." He will square you away with the spiritual stuff that I can't help you with. He may be contacted through the website.<br /><br />Second -- and I know this will be extremely difficult for you, my child -- you must never contact me again. I'm sorry. But I will only hold you back now. Your enlightenment through the truth of combat has surpassed my ability to guide you. Even just sending fond greetings will be a detriment to your development.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your journey with us, my son. I hope the others will learn as well as you did.<br /><br />And yes, I have ridden a train.jrfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17547986019432523760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12071007.post-56847007801851987572010-03-24T18:25:36.495-04:002010-03-24T18:25:36.495-04:00Dear Teacher,
I am an unworthy worm for being awa...Dear Teacher,<br /><br />I am an unworthy worm for being away from your teaching for so long. Greetings from Baltimore Maryland. The train has brought me here today. Just jumped off of the CSX at the Howard Street tunnel (I think) and have found my way to a small cafe with internet. Yes I know, you must be disappointed that I am riding the rails again, but I like the life style. This last winter was kind of rough but now that the weather has broken, it is not so bad.<br />I hope this finds you and my fellow students well. So much has changed.. yet stayed the same. I have been trying to cram as much of your writings in my head this afternoon as I can before my prepay card runs out. Fortunately, I have gathered many skills to earn money on my way. Sorry I have been gone so long, but, well...... truth be told..... I was ashamed to face you all. I haven't been the best of students lately. I was really sick for a few months ( lung stuff) and when I got better, well I fell in with some underground fist fighters for some money. We traveled the southern US for a while. Fighting for the pleasure of onlookers. I did ok I guess. But deep inside I heard your teachings. Haunting me. Chastising me. And yes, still teaching me. The night I finally quit, was so fraught with physical and emotional pain that I hardly remember it. I woke up in a box car, flat on my back, bloodied, with pockets full of money in the darkness, headed to parts unknown.<br /><br />Just that quick I was on the trains again. Well, the money is gone now and I am back to a more wholesome existence. A traveling monk type thing I like to think. Catch as catch can. I hope someday to meet you face to face. But until then I will try to get back here as much as possible. I think that I am gonna spend a little time in Baltimore and rest for a while. The air smells good and the prospects just might be endless. Anyway, thanks for the wisdom. Spring is in the air.
