Without thought,without dependence on what you know, show me your truth right now!
Too late! You were cut three times before you saw one pass of the blade.
Stop thinking! The sword is slicing through the air. If you look at the keen blade glistening, you are dead. The Zen way is to take no thought for what action to take nor to meditate over the danger. Movement is then natural fluid. Whoosh! You are gone beyond danger.
-Vernon Kitabu Turner / Roshi
