There is no way that I can make myself do it.
I am my own doing.
Right now, I'm going to eat. My eating will not fill your stomach.
To shoot point-blank at a flying bird
Our view of the therapist
How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?
When I try to be helpful, I have the idea of helping.
