Get your head
out of yr ass,
said my mentor;
all things must pass;
look around;
be here, now;
look at the cows
in the field,
how placid they are
learn what I cannot teach;
imbue the wisdom
of the naked beach
The Naked Beach

Yes, placidity… A quality so desirable, which yet cannot be acquired by striving.

yes, there’s much we can learn from cows 🙂 I only wish my mentor practised some placidity instead of tackling me head on with that vulgar expression 🙂

Yes, it’s good to be empty and calm. Much good comes out of nothing. 🙂

thanks Eden; apology for the gruff beginning; my mentor really needs to tone things down a little —

There is a somber silence on the naked beach, that comes from shells spinning out their violence.
