thoughts on A Buddhist proverb told by the Thai busboy

My favorite poets are Western poets. But their obsession with thinking -- no matter if it's thinking about the thing itself or thinking about ideas -- would only get in the way here.

Where is here?

Here is the table in front of us and the drinks that need to be cleared. Yes, there is religion and politics, and sometimes wisdom, because we do have to figure out who is going to clear the table.

What about after it's clear?
