Koan #8...

By Vichara


Wham! Bam! It’s the Monday Ko-an!
“Look and see with your own eyes. If you hesitate you miss the mark for ever”. Your intuitive nature / voice can be a most powerful tool to cut through the procrastination that may keep you from doing the things you may want to do and keep you in a state of fear. These things could be significant or non-significant to others but it is important to you and it is and can be an essential ingredient of who you are. We will try to find many excuses not to do something, blaming many factors like cost, time, space, etc. What you are doing holding back. If you don’t seize the day, you will reach your death having missed your life. The “do-over” mostly lives in TV shows and movies. Don’t be deceived by this delusion. Rise out of your bunker of fear and procrastination and into the light of action and fulfillment. Don’t wait for someone to give you the keys…you already have them.

trichologist • \trih-KAH-luh-jist\ • noun
: a person who specializes in hair and scalp care; broadly : a person whose occupation is the dressing or cutting of hair

Example Sentence:
"You don't need to pay a trichologist or rely on hair-loss cure advertisements in magazines: your GP can conduct a series of blood tests to locate the problem." (David Fentonis, The Times [London], July 4, 2009)

Did you know?
Although you can accurately call the person who cuts your hair your "trichologist" if you want to, the term is usually applied as it is in our example sentence: to someone who studies and treats hair and scalp ailments. The "trich" in "trichologist" is the Greek "trich-," stem of "thrix," meaning "hair." This root makes an appearance in a number of other similarly technical-sounding words, such as "trichiasis" ("a turning inward of the eyelashes often causing irritation of the eyeball"), "trichome" ("an epidermal hair structure on a plant"), and "trichotillomania" ("an abnormal desire to pull out one's hair").
