Zen and the art of Bicycle Maintenance

Robert Pirsig wrote one book that realy matters, his first. It contains the painfull truth about how to deal with your daily shit, like bicycles that get flat tyres, break cables, cars that break down, and all that stuff. Unfortunally I deal with these things first and then realise that I should have done it better, the way Pirsig described, and not the way I use to deal with shit, with a temper, growling and stressed because it always happens (yes, shit happens) when you dont expect it. The right state of mind, the right attitude. When I realy should have it, I dont. When reading the books, when writing haiku, then its easy, but when you are confronted with the next flat tyre, well, you know what I am talking about...
