Koans Reflect Human Nature
It may seem that a koan is a device to discover something. More accurately, it is a sensibility of sudden and shocking aliveness that is marked by obstacles, nervousness, uncertainty. This is at the core of our being in the world, our existence moment to moment.
Douglas Penick, “The Wall”

"Somehow, we habitually think that some things we experience — particularly those that are pleasurable, supportive, and expansive — are what we really are. And we think all that is painful, insulting, or limiting is not what we really are. But according to the Buddha’s way, the meaning of [the eightfold] path is that we accept everything in our experience, satisfactory or not, painful or not, as our path. Path means accepting all our experience as our own. This is the spirit in which we walk the eightfold path.
The eightfold path explores the human world as a place of inevitable suffering, a place animated by the desire for permanence and satisfaction, and, simultaneously, a place where the underlying truth and reality cannot be limited by cravings, goals, or concepts. What is ultimately true and real here cannot be known or possessed. It is free. The eight paths that Gautama Buddha described enable us, the wanderers, to know simultaneously a world that is utterly delusory and completely true."
- Douglas Penick, from "Exploring What Is." Tricycle, 8 November 2018.

ALTERNATIVE, UNDERREPRESENTED, AND EDUCATIONAL // by Rachel A.G. Gilman (Nonfiction)
"I have a problem with boys that are too nice to me. It makes me gag a little. Honestly, I probably just have trust issues, or maybe I’m afraid. As soon as you taste happiness, you’re going to want it forever, and I’m not in the market to miss more things."
WORLD IN FLOWER // by Douglas Penick (Hybrid)
"A boulder shaped like a huge pouch in the middle of a forest, left there as if a giantess, passing as she ran from one world to another, had dropped here a bag of gold."

"Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing’s The Mushroom at the End of the World is an extraordinary, complex, and beautifully written book that focuses on matsutake mushrooms. This fungus, cherished and prized by Japanese and Koreans because its scent evokes the sadness of the end of autumn, grows only in devastated landscapes, particularly in the loggedover forests of Oregon. There they are harvested commercially by US Army vets, former Thai soldiers, and Cambodian refugees, as well as old Japanese people for whom the mushroom hunting brings back the folkways that were demolished when their families were put into concentration camps here. The book’s subtitle is On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins.
Dr. Tsing writes of the complex biologies, histories, economies, and ecologies that intertwine in the matsutake mushrooms’ life, environment, value, harvesting.
As she says:
Many histories come together here: they draw us beyond bubble worlds into shifting cascades of collaboration and complexity. . . . Rather than limiting our analyses to one creature at a time (including humans), or even one relationship, if we want to know what makes places livable we should be studying the polyphonic assemblages, gatherings of ways of being. Assemblages are performances of livability.
The Avatamsaka Sutra says:
Upon true awakening,
Buddhas see within their body
All sentient beings attaining true
awakening . . .
The bodhisattva Samantabhadra
commented,
'Very good — it is as you say.'
The Canadian anthropologist Eduardo Kohn has written about how forests can be said to 'think,' since within the jungle, the interplay of phenomena from the atmospheric, geological, biological, animal, and human realms are continually influencing each other and in this way produce a multiplicity of continuously unfolding meanings of these phenomena. Thus the forest is recognizably a mind, if not an exclusively human one. That is to say, its shifting forms of organization and awareness are not exclusively devoted to human purposes.
'Selves,' Kohn says, referring to human and nonhuman beings in his study of the Runa of the upper Amazon, 'exist simultaneously as embodied and beyond the body. They are localized, and yet they exceed the individual and even the human.'"
- Douglas Penick, from "To Music"

2. The Government Inspector, Seattle Shakespeare, Jeffry Hatcher/Nikolai Gogol, dir. Allison Narver. Diversely-cast. This was totally hysterical.
3. Blood Makes Noise (reading), Pork Filled Productions, Kuan Foo, dir. May Nguyen Lee. Diversely-cast.
4. Dawn of the She-Devil of the China Seas (reading), Pork Filled Productions, Roger Tang, dir. Linnea Ingalls.
5. She is Fierce, solo works by female-identifying visual and performing artists, curated by Linnea Ingalls and Cessa Betancourt (I think). Diverse.
6. The Nance, Artswest, Douglas Carter Beane, dir. Mathew Wright. Pretty white, except for Jasmine Jean Sim.
7. Ballad of the White Tiger, NCTC Pipeline, Keiko Green, dir. MJ Sieber. Race-specific, that is, half-Asian. This is deliberate. I note, not for the first time, that Josh Kenji is so ridiculously good-looking it’s almost distracting.
8. It Will Be Now, Wyrd Sisters, Meghan Dolbey and Meme Garcia, dir. Wiley Basho Gorn. Two solo works. There aren’t words for how beautiful this was.
9. The Seagull (filmed), Satirikon Theatre, Anton Chekhov, dir. Yury Butusov. Pretty white. Well, Russians.
10. Every 28 Hours (reading), The Hansberry Project/CD Forum for Arts and Ideas, dir. Valerie Curtis Newton. This is a series of something like 100 one-minute plays about race. Most of the cast is black.
11. Secret and Impossible League of the Noösphere and the Baltimore Plot, Live Girls!, Darian Lindle, dir. Meghan Arnette. Non-race-specific, mostly white. I loved this but I could not for the life of me remember the title, which made it really difficult to recommend it to other people. I think many people had this problem.
12. Monstrosity, UW Drama, Lucy Thurber, dir. Samie Spring Detzer. Diversely-cast. I think, because this is a student production, there is also some gender-swapping, but I can’t be sure. This was wild and electric and totally insane.
13. A Christmas Carol, ACT, Gregory Falls, dir. Emily Penick. This is always diversely-cast, but this is the first time I can recall that a black actor was cast as Scrooge. They always cast two actors as Scrooge, so they had to double-up the casting for Young Scrooge and Even Younger Scrooge, which always works out anyway because you need a lot of young and child actors. Having a Black Scrooge totally pivots that early scene when Scrooge berates his quivering, shivering, overworked and verbally abused sole employee, Bob Cratchit.
14. The Christians (reading), Thalia’s Umbrella, Lucas Hnath, dir. Kathryn Stewart. Diversely-cast.
15. The Humans, Seattle Rep, Stephen Karam, dir. Joe Mantello. As far as I can tell, non-race-specific. Mostly white. One actor wasn’t white. Otherwise it was really white.
16. Buzzfeed IRL, The Horse in Motion, multiple artists and disciplines, diverse.
17. Wonderful Life, 14/48 Projects, dir. Shawn Belyea (plus assistant directors). Diversely-cast. I’ve never seen this before, but the concept is that NOBODY knows who is in the cast except for the directors. Each performer rehearses with the directors alone. They can only tell one person. When it’s their cue, they stand up from wherever they are sitting in the audience, speak their first words, and then join everyone else onstage. It’s amazing.
18. The Flight Before Christmas, SPT, Maggie Lee, dir. Amy Poisson. Diversely-cast.
19. Christmastown, SPT, Wayne Rawley, dir. Kelly Kitchens. I mean, it could be more diversely cast, but then it IS Pilar O’Connell playing the femme fatale in full glory, so I let this one slide.
20. Howl’s Moving Castle, Book-It, Myra Platt (script) and Justin Huertas (music & lyrics), dir. Myra Platt with movement work from Table Flip. Holy shit holy shit holy shit I mean seriously SARA. PORKALOB. Also the cast was diverse as fuck and amazing as hell and I cried and also Michael Feldman is hot like whoa.
21. Artswest Holiday Cast Party, Artswest, Mathew Wright. This was part of a series with each night a different pair of performers coming in to sing a few Christmas carols and talk about themselves and since this was Justin Huertas and Ben Gonio, I totally had to check it out.
22. Ham for the Holidays, ACT, Peggy Platt and Lisa Koch. They have a comedy duo called Dos Fallopia and every year they have a show with about eight skits. It’s pretty white. But funny.
23. Snowflakes, Sandbox Radio/ACT. This is an ongoing radio-style podcast that’s recorded live, with music and sound effects made by actual humans and short plays and works written by various writers. Mostly white.

“If goodness and bravery still dwell in this world as other than a flickering shadow on the edge of sleep, if wisdom and harmony still dwell in this world as other than a dream lost in an unopened book, they are hidden in our heartbeat. And it is from our hearts that we cry out. We cry out and our voices are the single voice of this wounded earth.” ~ Douglas Penick
