"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert M Pirsig pushed its way into my consciousness this week. I read it maybe twenty years ago and am tackling it again.
A favorite examination of values, culture, and sanity; an inspiration for those aspiring to understand their own mind and life while searching for peace on earth.
Says Pirsig: "The study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself. Working on a motorcycle, working well, caring, is to become part of a process, to achieve an inner peace of mind. The motorcycle is primarily a mental phenomenon."
Do you have a "motorcycle"? I'm not sure I do...time to open my heart and see if one rides in.
