thelerner Posted March 29, 2018 Found this hiding in my Best of Bums thread- Dao Zhen: Those who wish to embody the Tao should embrace all things. To embrace all things means one holds no anger or resistance toward any idea or thing, living or dead, formed or formless.Acceptance is the very essence of the Tao. To embrace all things means one rids oneself of any concepts of separation: male and female, self and others, life and death. Division is contrary to the nature of the Tao. Foregoing antagonism and separation, one enters into the harmonious oneness of all things... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neti neti Posted April 3, 2018 "Saving someone's life is like falling in love. The best drug in the world. For days, sometimes weeks afterwards, you walk the street making infinite whatever you see. Once, for a few weeks, I couldn't feel the earth. Everything I touched became lighter. Horns played in my shoes. Flowers fell from my pockets. You wonder if you've become immortal, as if you've saved your own life as well. God has passed through you. Why deny it that for a moment there-- why deny for a moment there, God, was you?" ~Nicolas Cage, Bringing out the Dead 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silent thunder Posted April 5, 2018 One of my bosses, after giving me a good dose of shit yesterday, semi-apologized for being a smart ass...

I'd rather take shit from a smart ass... than clean it up after a dumb one." 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
