The Thoughts of Charwoman Miaow

This is my online scrap book, I’m filling it with snippets from here and there which express my thoughts and preoccupations, worries and frustrations, as well as insights and occasional rare moments of revelation. I hope it becomes “an inexhaustible source of strength and a spiritual atom bomb of infinite power.” (!! acknowledgements to Lin Piao 1966), but at any rate, it’s a form of self expression, takes the pressure off, and maybe it’ll mean something to somebody. Dedicated to my daughter.

“Conventional thought is in brief, the confusion of the concrete universe of nature with the conceptual things, events and values of linguistic and cultural symbolism”

Beat Zen, Square Zen and Zen, Alan Watts, 1960
