“A lecture on Zen is always something in the nature of a hoax, because it really does deal with a domain of experience that cant be talked about. But one must remember at the same time that there is really nothing at all that can be talked about adequately. And the whole art of poetry is to say what can’t be said. So every poet, every artist feels when he gets to the end of his work that there is something absolutely essential that was left out. So zen has always described itself as a finger pointing at the moon.” —Alan Watts
