I'll try and help remedy that Johan...but you know, boring's not all

that bad sometimes:

 

Soen Sa Nim gave this kong-an talk on May 12, 1978, shortly after

returning from his first visit to Europe.

 

Boring is a very important word. If you attain boring, then

everything is boring. Then this is no desire, no anger, no ignorance.

Desire is boring; anger is boring; ignorance is boring; everything is

boring. Then, you will get Enlightenment. So boring is very

important. Everything is equal. But people don't like boring. They

want something, and boring is not interesting. It's like clear water.

Clear water has no taste, but no taste is great taste. Everybody

likes ice cream, but eating ice cream all day is not possible.

However, if you're thirsty, clear water is wonderful any time --

better than honey, better than ice cream, better than anything. The

truth is like this.

 

 

but Hey J., when I want to have FUN....well I just can't

stand 'boring', whether that be 'fun' or 'gossip' or what have you or

what have you not too.

Hey Bobby Brown, .....google> quotes> copy/paste> and see:

 

Everything from ABC to LSD

 

copy/paste> " Life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the

same time. At any given moment the floor may open up. Of course, it

almost never does; that's what makes it so boring. "

Edward Gorey

 

copy/paste> Everybody likes ice cream, but eating ice cream all day

is not possible.

 

.......Can't seperate the individual cry from the big scream anymore.

 

I like that.......

ONIONS

 

Deftly, the onions remove their skins one word at a time,

 

Understanding the promise of fire and how they will curl

 

And sizzle and sometimes burn beyond recognition, but oh,

 

The smell of frying onions, always recognizable, always

 

Welcoming as the first ingredient, added to just about

 

Anything, always palatable and edible.

 

 

 

Truth smells like that.

 

 

 

Unless it stings your eyes or doesn't agree with your stomach,

 

Or you worry about bad breath. Then you pass on the onions.

 

1/15/06 6:50 a.m.

 

 

 

I am the river that flows through me

cool cool water,

deep deep well

 

empty sky

wild clouds

passing by

 

unhurried,

meditating on moonbeams.

 

 

YIL,

Ana
