For example, has anyone noticed that french fries have gone from those pudgy, potatoe-doughy thmbs to the now currently vogue-ish, slim, long, and crispy style? And also that they are now served in the better cuisine-houses in a jar, wrapped in thick paper to absorb the oil, but requiring use of fingers to extract, which is actually a kind of tapas (come to think of it). There -- thinking put to some use around here after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I just thinking it was neat to see two loving parents being challenged with the same event...the sudden loss of their beloved child...and how one was completely surrendered to that reality and how the other was completely fighting it. It was like seeing the two opposite poles that exist in me. That's all. I don't attribute any meaning to it. I was just moved, in my heart. And then I felt moved to share that with you.

In a sort of innocent arrogance, most believe that they are the actors, forgetting that I am the one who writes the script and pulls their delicate strings. Today they will say this, tomorrow that. Great mirth and laughter follow, because I love these dreamy projections of myself. When they discover who I am, my little game is revealed, and there is great mirth and laughter! Mine love me, and I them. We are not the same, we are not different. I do not know what I am, and so I entertain this play through these gleaming reflections to experience myself as them, as this. Beloved Heart, Soul of my soul -- you pull the mask from my spirit face to find yourself staring back at you. These eyes are twinkling in starry remembrance of our identity beyond any comprehension, and so this kiss upon your heart is my eternal surrender to the beauty of our vast mystery. We no longer need to ponder the future of aviation -- our flight cannot be traced throughout this endlessness of blue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
