Keggerman expounds: The fundamental nature of reality is uncertainty. How do we deal with received wisdom traditions? By recognizing that there’s a fundamental uncertainty there, too, which is the unknowableness of the divine. The divine presents a space of infinite options, infinite possibilities. Perspectives to the contrary, feel self-serving, prescriptive for a purpose. Again direct relation to the divine is more an exploration of possibility, of creativity than normative stricture. There is more than one aspect of infinite divinity. 

Beatrice: Zen has doctrine. 

Keggerman: If you meet the Buddha, kill him. Nietzsche’s Zarathustra says do not follow me.  The location of Moses’ tomb is intentionally unknown.

Kellerman cracks open a cold one, its spine crinkles glue. There is poetry. There is action command by divine intent. There are boundaries expanded by duty. Recur. Recur.

“Watching the monks appear and disappear in the market like a flock of strange birds grown accustomed to being fed by the vendors, I was aware of how much the beauty of ritual depended on the rote repetition of an action over ages and generations.”
