One of my guilty pleasures, is watching the old episodes of “Life”. “Life” had an unceremoniously short live run on the peacock network “NBC”. The series was canceled after two seasons. The show featured a cop that was wrongly sentenced to life in prison for murders he didn’t commit, only to have his sentence thrown out after spending twelve at Pelican Bay. Terms of release included a large financial settlement and the opportunity to be a detective on the same police force that turned on him. What made “Life” such a fascinating show was the quirkiness of the Charlie Crews. While in prison, he discovered Zen and had a lot of Charlism, while solving cases. The other cool thing is that while he is solving cases during each episode, he is slowly piecing the puzzle together to discover how and why he was framed for those murders. As a closet student on studying everything Zen, I found myself connecting to the philosophical ramblings of Detective Charlie Crews. It is my goal moving forward to plaster this website from time to time with Charlism and other Zenful ramblings that I enjoy.
My favorite quote from Charlie Crews is this one:
You don’t have to understand here, to be here.
