Somebody sent me a small collection of Buddhist-Jewish poems and one of the bits of combined wisdom from two of my favorite faiths really hit home with my mood of the moment:

Zen is not easy.
It takes effort to attain nothingness.
And then what do you have?
Bupkis.

I invite you to meditate on these words that leave me without anything else I can think of to say today — a situation I hope will change before I join Jerry Burris this afternoon for a discussion of local politics and the Legislature on Town Square with Beth-Ann Kozlovich at 5 p.m. on KIPO 89.3FM.
