This year did leave its mark on me. I only now see this.
I never wanted to be a "Zen SF&F author". If I did receive that label, I think I'd be very unhappy about it.

Spiritual advice don't mean a thing if it don't come from within.
Zen's influence on my work.
The new needs friends, not evangelists or apologists.
