2024 Winter Sesshin: AM Day Three – Green Eggs & Ham

I am Sam. I am Sam. Sam I am.

That Sam-I-am! That Sam-I-am! I do not like that Sam-I-am!

Do you like green eggs and ham?

I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
I do not like green eggs and ham.

…

You do not like them. So you say.
Try them! Try them! And you may.
Try them and you may, I say.

Sam! If you let me be,
I will try them. You will see.

(… and he tries them …)

Say! I like green eggs and ham!
I do! I like them, Sam-I-am!
