Thank you, Ron! Yeah, I'm having fun with it! Feels like a new path for experimenting with all the forms I learned in my years of studying the craft of creative nonfiction.
I loved reading this! I've been studying with a Dzogchen group (Anam Thubten's Dharmata Foundation), which has a lot of similarities to Zen. One of my teachers said, "Nobody's coming to save you" awhile back, as you did here, and that was a wakeup call. I'm also studying Taoism, and impermanence and interconnectedness are the key foundations there, too. Those (concepts? facts?) used to be scary to me, but now I find them comforting. Haven't gotten over main character syndrome yet, though :)
Love this! The lecture/sermon form suits you.

Haha I hear that! Seems to be a lifelong effort. Thanks, Janet.
