Talk:Seeking The Ox
From Peace Elements
- The introduction is from "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones" by ~ Paul Reps ~
- The prose and comments by Chinese master Kakuan ...
- who also drew the original pictures found in Rep's work.
- These illustrations are my own work done in 1976 or so ...
- just playing around with a felt tip pen and some callgraphy paper ...
- prior to coming into possession of a real ink-stone and brushes.
- have entertained the idea of doing them 'properly' ...
- but after all ...
- it was one of those 'in the moment' things ...
- and perhaps best let be.
- i like the results.
- Had lost track of these until finding them hidden in a box three
- years ago ... and used a digital camera to re-capture them.
- They are based on some drawings i found at that time in an unknown
- book that i have not been able to relocate over these many years.
- The additional commentary, found beneath each picture is, i believe,
- from that same source.
- If anyone can steer me towards the original source i would be delighted
- and more than happy to attibute it here.
- Any additional commentary or other translations are welcome.
- Please use the "discussion tabs" at the top of the relevent page ...
- or use this discussion space here.
- Think you.
- enjoy
