Auri And Zen

The Corridors Of Time, CHAPTER NINE.

Auri:

"...accepted everything as it came to her, though she kept a fox's alertness: an attitude that Zen masters might envy." (p. 83)

Yes, acceptance and alertness are Zen. No, Zen masters are beyond envy! 

We have been out for the evening. On returning, it has taken me some time to respond to comments and then to scan back through The Corridors... to find this one passage which has required only a two-sentence response.

Wardens and Rangers, acting behind the scenes throughout history, have brought about the religious conflicts - sea and earth goddesses against sky gods, Catholicism against Protestantism - that they already knew about! But they hope to influence their future. Lockridge learns that some ancient myths and rites will return in his future but that there will also be more for humanity beyond that. I think that Zen will survive.
