“The blue mountain is the father of the white cloud. The white cloud is the son of the blue mountain. All day long they depend on each other, without becoming dependent on each other. The white cloud is always the white cloud. The blue mountain is always the blue mountain.”
Hooray to Mason.

I, too, am a narcissist.

Re: Mason

Something far more brilliant then the walls we've built, an intimacy that even permeates our most blissful dreams, you are That.

Meh, isn't it about time to understand it is not and never of time, leave that to dreamers and scripture folks who talk about merit and ripening.
There is no other Nirvana then what you are.

You can never know what I am, though in an offline setting everyone who "knows" me is afraid to hurt animals nor would they kill a fly or speak ill of a tree in my presence, and I have no issue keeping them in that illusion (whatever they imagine will be the consequence)
I don't do labels, but I'm happy to be represented/remembered as that.
This week mom stopped eating eggs, years ago she understood that sentient beings were more important then her cherished "flowers" so no more poisoning of garden life. But it doesn't matter what we gave up, all that matters is to see what (harm) is left to undo.

I have seen her flowers.
Almost forever ago.
Briefly, I taste them.

Too short for me to enjoy (there's always whiskey to fix that)

"Anything left in that old dog?"
Joshu replied,
"Meh."
