Zen

Or at least some hopefully interesting kaons (pronounced Ko-an which I believe comes from the Chinese term kung-an, literally meaning "public notice,"). Koan has come to mean something very different than its origin over the years. Koans never make much logical or even rational sense. They’re not supposed to. That’s the point of the exercise, to stop logical rational thought and analysis and to just know. Koans have a lot in common with quantum mechanics.

Lightning flashes,
Sparks shower.
In one blink of your eyes
You have missseen.

Because it is so clear
it is hard to see.

The quantum mechanics student asked of the teacher
"Is it true that anything is possible?"
The teacher replied, "You’re hear aren’t you?"
