Koan – Kevin Trent Boswell

Existence is not difficult for those who make no discriminations.⠀

—Zen Koan⠀

Everything in life is dangerous. What’s the point of being afraid?⠀

—some drunk guy at the bar who thought he had scared me away with his rambling but I really just needed to piss

The world no longer frightens me. I’m not scared anymore. It just disappoints me. Itallrunstogether likewetpaintonaparkbench onahotsummersday and I just don’t want to be here anymore.⠀

—what I would have said to my friend, had I not been so sure that it would have frightened him⠀

What’s your name? You’re very pretty.⠀

—what I said to the girl on the street with the small dog⠀

Oh, thanks. Bye.⠀

—what she said as she hurried away⠀

When you can do nothing, what can you do?

—Zen Koan
