Ching Ch'ing asked a monk, "What sound is that outside the gate?"
The monk said, "The sound of raindrops."
Ch'ing said, "Sentient beings are inverted. They lose themselves and follow after things."
The monk said, "What about you, Teacher? "
Ch'ing said, "I almost don't lose mysel£."
The monk said, "What is the meaning of 'I almost don't lose myself'?"
Ch'ing said, "Though it still should be easy to express oneself, to say the whole thing has to be difficult."

It's been flooding all week here in Texas.
I feel compelled to ask:
How do you feel about the rain?
