What's Shunryu Suzuki looking at in this photo by
Pat McFarlin? [He's an artist now
living in Santa Fe - that's his art website. Here's
his cuke
interview More on that question and
this cover tomorrow or the day after that or so. That reminds me - I need to find a high resolution copy of this photo for the new German version of CC - it went out of print there but is being brought back. More on that later too.
