More From Roy Rogers

The apocalypse is now! americans know this, that the only hope is the flying saucers. do you know how i see the world? like a person who is dying. it's a worm who is dying to make a butterfly. we must not stop the worm from dying, we must help the worm to die to help the butterfly to be born. we need to dance with death. this world is dying, but very well. we will make a big, big enormous butterfly. you and i will be the first movements in the wings of the butterfly because we are speaking like this.

Inside every one of us is a garden, and every practitioner has to go back to their garden and take care of it. maybe in the past, you left in untended for a long time. you should know exactly what is going on in your own garden, and try to put everything in order. restore the beauty; restore the harmony in your garden. if it is well tended, many people will enjoy your garden.
Garden Past Order
Awakening is not a thing. it is not a goal, not a concept. it is not something to be attained. it is a metamorphosis. if the caterpillar thinks about the butterfly it is to become, saying ‘and then i shall have wings and antennae,’ there will never be a butterfly. the caterpillar must accept its own disappearance in its transformation. when the marvelous butterfly takes wing, nothing of the caterpillar remains.

Zen is to religion what a japanese "rock garden" is to a garden. zen knows no god, no afterlife, no good and no evil, as the rock-garden knows no flowers, herbs or shrubs. it has no doctrine or holy writ: its teaching is transmitted mainly in the form of parables as ambiguous as the pebbles in the rock-garden which symbolise now a mountain, now a fleeting tiger. when a disciple asks "what is zen?", the master's traditional answer is "three pounds of flax" or "a decaying noodle" or "a toilet stick" or a whack on the pupil's head.

Once in those very early days my brother brought into the nursery the lid of a biscuit tin which he had covered with moss and garnished with twigs and flowers so as to make it a toy garden or a toy forest. that was the first beauty i ever knew. what the real garden had failed to do, the toy garden did. it made me aware of nature-not, indeed, as a storehouse of forms and colors but as something cool, dewy, fresh, exuberant....as long as i live my imagination of paradise will retain something of my brother's toy garden.

If, i can someday see m. claude monet's garden, i feel sure that i shall see something that is not so much a garden of flowers as of colours and tones, less an old-fashioned flower garden than a colour garden, so to speak, one that achieves an effect not entirely nature's, because it was planted so that only the flowers with matching colours will bloom at the same time, harmonized in an infinite stretch of blue or pink.
