Me: Nor are they stone knives or bear skins.
Mike: You don’t get it! Every conversation is what I am trying to say.
Me: Don’t get upset.
Mike: Let me explain exactly what I am talking about. If we were Zen monks, our random conversations and blog entries would be seen as profound insight into the nature of reality.

Mike: Right, exactly. So nobody thinks it is profound. Nobody looks for enlightenment in our playful banter and our obscure references to 80’s pop music lyrics.
Me: So…We don’t have to live like a refugee?
Mike: Exactly. Tom Petty has to live like a refugee. But we use a keyboard and a mouse.
Me: Instead of rocks and sticks?
Mike: Exactly.
Me: Zen monks used pen and ink. Not rocks and sticks.
