Does anyone have any spare time?
I have read a few Zen koans recently and I wanted to post some here for discussion but I haven't managed to dig them out as I have been rather busy and have not had much spare time lately. Rather appropriately I came across this today:

It seems like spare time to a zen practitioner is not an oxymoron.

On one hand, I should have been more sober to answer this question.
On the other hand, I should probably be less strict and conventional than normally to answer it. If there's a third hand, what time is or isn't spare? Please share your views, but for mine, please not that I tend more towards Theravada Buddhism and even more towards Taoism.
