What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

Yeah, cats are pretty "wu wei".

 

 

Oddly enough, I'm sitting here trying to type this around one of our aging cats who often hops up on my lap to enjoy a bit of human company when we're not dashing around all over the place engaged in one nonsensical activity after another. He likes computers, (for this reason only: They keep humans stationary ! )

 

Anyway, he mentally sent me a message to let you know that your post reminded him of that ever-familiar- but-oft-neglected Zen adage :

 

*

 

"Before I had studied Zen for thirty years, I saw mountains as mountains, and waters as waters. When I arrived at a more intimate knowledge, I came to the point where I saw that mountains are not mountains, and waters are not waters. But now that I have got its very substance I am at rest. For it's just that I see mountains once again as mountains, and waters once again as waters."

{I think what our wise moggy is struggling to put into human words is that he's a cat, not a 'wu wei'}

Sounded like most Rap/Hip Hop music I accidentally hear nowadays.

 

I'm now returning to my Walter Trout music.

"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will."

― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

 

That is similar to responses I present whenever one of my Buddhist friends tells me that I must be liberated.

 

 

To your edit add: Likely you have had software from the internet downloaded to your computer that is causing conflicts with other software. It might be a good idea to run a cleaner and anti-virus program on your computer to clean/remove conflicts.

Very sound advice as usual from the good Mr Marblehead.

 

He a very wize bird.

 

Thank you sir.

 

But it is barely even a minor irritation at the moment.

 

I am sure there is nothing to worry about.

But is all this true?" said Brutha.

Didactylos shrugged. "Could be. Could be. We are here and it is now. The way I see it is, after that, everything tends towards guesswork."

"You mean you don't KNOW it's true?" said Brutha.

"I THINK it might be," said Didactylos. "I could be wrong. Not being certain is what being a philosopher is all about.

(Terry Pratchett, Small Gods).

"Well, what I like best….", and then he had to stop and think,… because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were. But he didn’t know what it was called.


From 'The Tao of Pooh'

Anticipation.

 

Well done ! 'Anticipation' is precisely the word.

 

However, you must remember the context. Doing so you'll doubtless recall that Pooh was sadly a bear of very little brain. It's that the makes the tragic/magic mix that has endeared Pooh Bear to countless people since it was written ninety years ago.

Well, still and all, regarding Pooh's little brain, I have seen much more common sense from him than I have from many humans.

He certainly is more honest and lovable than 90% of the politicians one sees every day on TV.

A thoughtful Scottish Husband was putting his coat and hat on to make his way down to the local pub for a wee dram.


He turned to his bonnie wife before leaving and said, “Maggie, put your hat and coat on, lassie.”


She replied, “Aww, Jock, that's nice. Are ye taking me tae the pub wi’ you?”


“Nay,” Jock replied. “I'm turning the heat off while I'm out.”
