What is, is! What is not, is not! That’s the way it is! – An old Zen saying about knowing the truth of existence. We live in a world of stories – happy stories, sad stories, scary stories, comforting stories – but simply stories. What is the really Real beneath the stories? How can we know the Truth of the Tao. Perhaps by paying attention and looking deeply enough and long enough to see the formless beneath the form.
