He's taking his laptop with him, flo. Try and keep up. (-:

That ^ was my 1,000th post. Wanted to make sure it was something worth saying. (-: warm regards

like leaves from a birch i rest on soft dry grasses asleep in no wind

Tao is simple and as natural as breathing. (-: People like to make this complex because 1) they need something to talk about 2) if it's too simple, there's nothing (solutions to the complexity) to sell. There are other reasons, but you'd need to ask Marblehead. He might not tell you though, for complex reasons. warm regards

Oh yes it is and yer goin ta hell for sure now! Congrats on your first of many commissions!

You might have just lost your cook-off competitor, TM. No matter - my money was on you anyway. (-:

You missed my point, little sparrow, and that's okay. Thanks for your reply. (-:

That can happen, sure. It might be just a matter of paying attention to whats going on... If I'm driving and see a golden arches billboard my head might go 'oh! i want a bigmac' I ignore that. If I'm home and just out of the blue think..oh a bigmac sounds good.. then to me, that's my body telling me it needs salt & grease - so I make a bowl of veggies and put in a little extra butter and salt. Whenever I get ready to eat and think 'what sounds good...' it isn't my mind I'm scanning for ideas. Can you think of ways to listen and respond to what the body needs... rather than just trading one set of external eating rules for another?

She does indeed! Does that mean she "imagines things to be different then they truly are" ?

Well, my top is truly spinning on the floor, just as the earth truly spins through space. But that's okay, little cicada; the P'eng could not be part of what is real for you. (-:

In what way?

The image that comes for me is of the dude with the watch standing on the surface of the spinning top on my floor. He thinks years have passed in the few minutes I watch, lol

Yeppers! And you can disregard my other question to you if you wish; asked and answered. (-: warm regards

Hi Ben, welcome (-:

put it on youtube! or Not. We've seen enough death on buses today.

Does this line up with your experience to now?

LOL you're just being kind. (-: You wont think about it cause it's not something that anybody can think about, including me. Words are so limited in describing what is experienced; which is why I stay as much as possible within the parameters of The Laozi - rather than delving into, and trying to mitigate, traditions that use more words and complex ideas than even they know what to do with. But I do appreciate your reading my occasional attempts to express, and your generosity of not throwing well warranted rocks at those endeavours. warmest regards
