We all live in an eternally burning house, we move from room to room and refuse to smell the smoke or see the flames, but we are never unaware that the house is burning. One day we find ourselves cornered and we can no longer avoid the smell of the smoke or refuse to see the flames. Like rats cornered we panic and we hiss and snarl as if we could scare the fire away. In this no one is alone.
My Sensei and his teacher Soyu Matsuoka-roshi ask me, what the rat now does.
My only answer is that the flames are as real as I am.
