Subject: In answer to your question (from Toa of Pooh book review)
You went to graduate school because you must first be full in order to become Empty.
Kendra responds to the following from the book review--
"The parable of Chuang-tse retold by Hoff says it best:
On his way back from K'un-lun Mountains, the Yellow Emperor lost the dark pearl of Tao. He sent Knowledge to find it, but Knowledge was unable to understand it. He sent Distant Vision, but Distant Vision was unable to see it. He sent Eloquence, but Eloquence was unable to describe it. Finally, he sent Empty Mind, and Empty Mind came back with the pearl.
Why again did I go to graduate school?"

Subject: The question
Thanks for the comment Kendra. I once read a quote that went something like this: "One must read all the world's books to come to the realization that the answer lies in none of them." This has been my approach for many years now. If anybody knows where this quote comes from, please leave a comment.
