A special order item has limited availability and the seller may source this title from another supplier. And then he also says that the snap of the finger is 65 moments and every one of those moments is a moment to wake up and to turn your life around and to do things which will create beneficial karma. But he was slowing it down in the only way he could back then, which is through language. So playing with scale is also something I was also doing in the book, where Ruth and Oliver are talking about old growth tress, for example.
That was a kind of playing with scale. And the discussion of whales and extermination. That was there before I started writing about the tsunami, but it gained potency once I realized I could include the tsunami in the book and, in fact, that the tsunami needed to be an essential part of the book.

And that does tie back into a pilgrimage made to Japan in with Norman Fischer. A bunch of priests went to Japan with Norman Fischer for a Zuisei ceremony, which certifies you as a a full-fledged priest.
And one of things that really came home to me was how Zen is so much about the caring for and veneration of the ancestors. In Japanese culture in general.

If so, how is Jiko similar to the Roshi? It was just there — it seemed like the right one. It very often happens that the name will just be there. Although to some extent, knowing Yasutani was a famous Zen Master was in the back of my mind somewhere. Also there was a movie that had something about Yasutani in it — and it was a bit of a wacky movie, too.

Truth is not something that can ever be expressed. And I think that may be the same with enlightened consciousness, whatever that may be. So the failure is built into the effort. But the doing of it is the expression. When you sit zazen you are an expression of enlightened consciousness. You are an expression of things as they are. You have to keep showing up. This is Zen again. Just coming back over and over again. We talk about zazen as a practice of return. And so I do have more faith in that practice as a result of having written this book.
There are so many ways of doing philosophy.

And in the West we have one way which is very analytical. So it interested me to take these philosophies of time and being and to do them in another way. So I was playing with how you write literary fiction that somehow embodies and performs these kinds of questions. Well, thank you so much Ruth. This has certainly been illuminating — and a lot of fun as well.
