Made me laugh...

I sit every morning at around 5am, after which I return to bed with a morning coffee for my partner.

I read this quote from Zoketsu Norman Fischer "Zazen is fundamentally a useless and pointless activity".

My partner (who is not a Buddhist) replied: "I don't think its pointless, I get a coffee in bed every morning"

BB...

Ha. Reminded me of Sirens of Titan by Vonnegut.

Not a Buddhist?
They must be a Buddha.
Which can only mean, there is a point to practice.

Actually, I think this is a good teaching tale. How to keep your partner happy when you are a serious daily meditator? Make doing something nice for them part of the routine.
