Guest guest Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Buddha parked his pink Cadillac convertible with painted yellow flames coming from under the hood. Ananda leaned on the car. " I need a fix, " said Ananda. Buddha reclined deeper in the driver seat, and closing his eyes, fluttered his long eyelashes as if in a trance. His slender brown hand adorned with five gold rings levitated, gyrated, and two small envelopes appeared between his fingers. One, pink; the other, black. Ananda saw the two dragons tattooed on his forearm. They faced each other shooting flames that intertwined to form a yin-yang sign. " Which kind of fix would you like, the dreamy, or the awakening kind? " " Give me the black envelope. I want to stay awake, just like you. " Buddha opened the black envelope and read from the sheer piece of paper it held. " This, just as it seems... " He waved his hand in an encompassing gesture, " is all there is. It has no purpose, nor explanation. It can neither be attained, nor forsaken. Let it be, and it follows you like a puppy; try to own it and it flees beyond your reach.

I know I can't return to the pre-awakening state, nor would I want to. And I'm bored of the " This, just as it seems.. " Hoping that the pink one is way cool. ~A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
