#my zen story I been having my zither for forty some odd years, I said to old man red barn. But I still can't play my zither! I said. What is the reason for this? I asked. Well.... He stroked his chin and thought a moment. It's because you're a jerk, he said at last. Well... What do I do about it? I wanted to know. Well.... He thought about it some more. Stop being such a jerk, he said at last and I went home. (2016)
