Finished Chapter 12 of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maitenance"

The author talked about the life after giving up his dream to pursue Indian philosophy, and became a journalist and backed to normal life, "Because he's given up, the surface of life was comfortable for him. He worked reasonably hard, was easy to get along with and, except for an occasional glimpse of inner emptiness shown in some short stories he wrote at the  time, his days passed quite usually".

My comments: it is not bad to enjoy a normal life. And also, in another word, he is getting older.

The night they stayed at a cabin in the park: "We talk with no need to hurry. This is the oldest entrance to the park. It was used before there were any automobiles. They talk about changes that have taken place over the years, adding a dimension to what we see around us, and it builds to a kind of beautiful thing-- this town, this couple and the years that have gone by here".

Yes, the other dimension is "Time". And time flies.

And you will still feel the beauty of the nature when "I am conscious of the sounds of the river rushing past boulders below and a fragrance in the night wind".

And you imagine that there is such a beautiful picture there.
