Zen

I remember throwing this toy down the stairs. I kept throwing it and throwing it, and there was as much joy on the part of the dog the last time he returned it as there had been the first time. There would have been more joy eternally. It struck me that there's something Zen about that--doing something that might seem menial, but if you have joy in it you are happy. This is a kind of wisdom that dogs have.
