save the trees!

*LOL* I just now noticed that this I made a funny

typo on this snack mix recipe. It should have read

OAT snack mix, not OAK. Oh my. Now that would

have been a very feral recipe had I promoted the

eating of oak trees.

 

I should drink more coffee before typing these up.

Enlightenment is like the

moon reflected on the water.

The moon does not get wet,

nor is the water broken.

Although its light is wide and great,

the moon is reflected even

in a puddle an inch wide.

The whole moon and the entire sky

are reflected in dewdrops on the grass,

or even in one drop of water.
