So the thing to do when working on a
motorcycle, as in any other task, is to cultivate
the peace of mind which does not separate
ones self from ones surroundings. When that
is done successfully then everything else
follows naturally. Peace of mind produces right
values, right values produce right 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 it all.
Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of
Motorcycle
Maintenance.
With an artistic drama we empathize with one
or more of its
characters, but theres also a distance
between us and their
situationa safety valve that allows us to
express a range of
emotions, but also to say, Its only a movie,
Its only a play,
Its only a novel. Work is based upon
problem solving, how to eliminate conflict and
get the job done. Episodic is fine for work. We
want day-by-day not confrontational trauma
even if it would lead to life-changing revelation.
But drama exaggerates conflict, pushes
situations to their extreme and leads us to a
big turning point.
In a poem entitled Four Great Poets, Robert
Francis puts his
finger on the heart of Frosts 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. Heres
an example from part of one of Frosts 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. Its a criticism that could be aimed at any
writer, but what
is as interesting as the meaning of Frosts
reply is this sense of
movement that carries the reader forward to
the climatic end.

From Beowulf
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 the monsters
Great staggering tracks. They gaped with no
sense
Of sorrow, felt no regret for his suffering,
Went tracing his bloody footprints, his beaten
525 And lonely flight, to the edge of the lake
Where hed dragged his corpselike way,
doomed
And already weary of his vanishing life.
The water was bloody, steaming and boiling
In horrible pounding waves, heat
530 Sucked from his magic veins; but the
swirling
Surf had covered his death, hidden
Deep in murky darkness his miserable
End, as hell opened to receive him.
Then old and young rejoiced, turned back
535 From that happy pilgrimage, mounted their
hard-hooved horses, high-spirited stallions,
and rode them slowly toward Heorot again,
retelling Beowulfs bravery as they jogged
along.
