Sothethingtodowhenworkingonamotorcycle,asinanyother task,
is to cultivate the peace of mind which does not separate one’s
self from one’s surroundings. When that is done successfully
then everything else follows naturally.viiPeace of mind produces
right values, right values produce righti thoughts. Right thoughts
produce right actions and right actions produce work which will
be a material reflection for others to see of the serenity at the
center of itall.
—Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
2.
With an artistic drama, we empathize with one or more of its
characters, but there’s also a distance between us and their
situation—a safety valve that allows us to express a range of
emotions, but also to say, “It’s only a movie,” “It’s only a play,”
“It’s only a novel.” Work is based upon problem solving, how to
eliminate conflict and get the job done. Episodic is fine for work.
Wewantday-by-daynotconfrontationaltrauma—evenifitwould
lead to life-changing revelation. But drama exaggerates conflict,
pushes situations to their extreme, and leads us to a big turning
point.
3.
In a poem entitled Four Great Poets, Robert Francis puts his
finger on the heart of Frost’s greatness: “His head carved out of
granite O / His hair wayward drifts of snow / He worshipped the
great God of Flow / By holding on and letting go.” Here’s an
example from part of one of Frost’s lesser known pieces, For
Once, Then, Something. In the first half he says friends rebuke
him for looking into a well and seeing only himself, reflected in
the water godlike in a wreath of ferns and cloud puffs. It’s a
criticism that could be aimed at any writer, but what is as
interesting as the meaning of Frost’s reply is this sense of
movement that carries the reader forward to the climatic end.

And then, in the morning, crowds surrounded
Herot, warriors coming to that hall
520 From faraway lands, princes and leaders
Of men hurrying to behold themonster’s
Great staggering tracks. They gaped with nosense
Of sorrow, felt no regret for hissuffering,
Went tracing his bloody footprints, his beaten
525 And lonely flight, to the edge of thelake
Where he’d dragged his corpse like way, doomed
And already weary of his vanishing life.
The water was bloody, steaming and boiling
In horrible pounding waves, heat
