The title of this Chautauqua is “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance,” not “Zen and the Art of Mountain Climbing,” and there are no motorcycles on the tops of mountains, and in my opinion very little Zen. Zen is the “spirit of the valley,” not the mountaintop. The only Zen you fin on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there.
