Hey friends,
My awfull chemo-like therapy is over after a half year of taking pills & shots ... Finally !
Furthermore I appear to be healed of the virus, I'll know for certain in august, when I'll get the last viral count blood test.
Right now though, after 3 weeks without medicines, my hair is still falling out & I still feel infinitely tired.
That's an understatement; I feel exhausted.
However ... that should be fixed in a couple of months (if I'll do my best that is) and then I can go out & live again !
Youpee !
-xXx- Ellen.

Hepatitis C is the name of the viral liver disease I've been 'hosting' the last 11 years.
Treatments were fairly experimental in those years, and the medication had a lot of very bad side effects which could hold on years after completion the medicine treatment.
To make a long story short ; I've been on the medication treatment (with weekly injections with Peg inteferon and daily intake of Ribavirin pills. Both I administer myself) for 4 and a half month now ..... and it's nearly killing me.
The very bad side effects I mentioned are still here, and I seem to be vulnarable for both the fysical and the psychological side effects.
I could mention 10 right away, bu I dont want to bother you with all the sadness & frustration I'm going through deze months.
Google on the medicine names if you want to know more.
The treatment takes 1 year btw ....
Now THAT'S scary !
OK ... this is it ....I'm just TOO tired to be on the internet often ... I don't make nice pictures now either, but I felt really guilty about waiting this long before I informed you guys about my absence.
I know some of you care.

Mood: Always wondering ...

A Zen koan for you:

Joshu's Dog


A monk asked Joshu, a Chinese Zen master: `Has a dog Buddha-nature or not?'
Joshu answered: `Mu.' [Mu is the negative symbol in Chinese, meaning `No-thing' or `Nay'.]

Mumon's comment:s To realize Zen one has to pass through the barrier of the patriachs.
Enlightenment always comes after the road of thinking is blocked.
If you do not pass the barrier of the patriachs or if your thinking road is not blocked,
whatever you think, whatever you do, is like a tangling ghost.
You may ask: What is a barrier of a patriach? This one word, Mu, is it.

This is the barrier of Zen. If you pass through it you will see Joshu face to face.
Then you can work hand in hand with the whole line of patriachs. Is this not a pleasant thing to do?

If you want to pass this barrier, you must work through every bone in your body,
through ever pore in your skin, filled with this question: What is Mu? and carry it day and night.
Do not believe it is the common negative symbol meaning nothing. It is not nothingness, the opposite of existence.
If you really want to pass this barrier,
you should feel like drinking a hot iron ball that you can neither swallor nor spit out.

Then your previous lesser knowledge disappears.
As a fruit ripening in season, your subjectivity and objectivity naturally become one.
It is like a dumb man who has had a dream. He knows about it but cannot tell it.

When he enters this condition his ego-shell is crushed and he can shake the heaven and move the earth.
He is like a great warrior with a sharp sword.
If a Buddha stands in his way, he will cut him down; if a patriach offers him any obstacle, he will kill him;
and he will be free in this way of birth and death.
He can enter any world as if it were his own playground. I will tell you how to do this with this koan:

Just concentrate your whole energy into this Mu, and do not allow any discontinuation.
When you enter this Mu and there is no discontinuation,
your attainment will be as a candle burning and illuminating the whole universe.
