The other replied, "The wind is moving."
Huineng overheard this. He said, "Not the flag, not the wind; mind is moving."

Another new book
Raised a woman, Portland writer Aaron Raz Link became a man -- a gay man -- at the age of 29.
At least, he initiated the hormonal and surgical processes to alter his appearance toward a form closer to the person he had always felt he was inside.
Because Link was trained as a scientist -- specifically, taxonomy, the science of naming things -- he is uniquely fit to analyze his unusual experience. It doesn't hurt that he's a beautiful writer as well as a thoughtful and witty one.
"What Becomes You" is nonfiction, he writes, and a memoir, but not autobiography: "It is a book about pieces that didn't fit the picture. As a result, the most confusing and difficult pieces play the largest roles."
Strictly speaking, he writes, there is no such thing as a "sex change operation"; there are rather lots of little surgeries that were developed for other reasons, such as for badly mutilated soldiers and infants and grown-ups whose bodies took an odd turn due to misbehaving hormones or cancer.
Link's analysis of his youthful fascination with movie monsters (they "were obviously the good guys"), of the Catch-22 of having to get himself diagnosed as mentally ill in order to qualify for the surgeries (legally speaking, "a mentally healthy person wouldn't want what I wanted"), and the absurdities of psychiatry and people's assumptions about gender roles, are all fascinating and well-handled.
"How come women write books analyzing male gender roles but get mad when men analyze female gender roles," he writes.
There's even a kind of punch line: After an early lifetime of hating to be laughed at, following his sex reassignment, Link went to clown school.

If you have any interest in serious fiction, I am currently making my way through an excellent novel, "Middlesex," written by Jeffrey Eugenides. It's not a how, what, or why work, but I find it very enlightening as well as entertaining. I'm sure you can find it on Amazon, which will provide a synopsis and, possibly, reviews.
