The Zen of Wiley Coyote & Roadrunner

Through exploring the classic Roadrunner and Wiley Coyote screenwriting rules, Roshi John Tarrant interrogates the constraints we so often place on life in hopes of it all making more sense. In meditation, our rules often begin to loosen, and the true absurdity and delight of our situation becomes clearer. What will we do with what we are given? Just taking it all in is a start. "One of the fundamental things in Zen would be being adaptive and conforming to circumstances rather than finding circumstances." — John Tarrant.
