Just This
無
The current issue of Just This takes up the topic of how we name. It gives words about words — their possibilities and their pitfalls.

Barbara Kohn introduces this issue. Mark Bykowski writes about translating Mu and the languages we use at AZC. Brandon Lamson, Glen Snyder, Daigu, and Sarah Webb give us poems and their thoughts about naming and writing and Zen. And Kim Mosley can't help slipping words into his drawings, though his art teachers told him not to. Check out the words at the new mini-issue of Just This, our third in a series exploring Zen and the Arts.

Just This appreciates the creativity our sangha has offered for the series, and we are looking forward to more coming our way. As John Grimes says, "It all depends on you!" The next issues coming up are: Movement, Rivers and Mountains, and Play. We can use material on any of these topics, but we especially need material for the issue on play (play, the child, humor — anything playful). Later there will be more issues, so if you have anything artistic, send it. We'll find a way to use it. Please send submissions to: azcjustthis@googlegroups.com

Gassho!
John Grimes, Kim Mosley, and Sarah Webb
