Inside the shadow's shadow

0 posted 2003-09-30 02:26 PM


In death, I weep
Above a space I cleared in the leaves
I wish only, in these last moments
To be re-born
Into creatures I've always felt
Were my only friends
So that I may hold roots
With my rough-skinned grandmother
And ancient grandfather.

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
--Chang Tzu

We have a lot of spirits walking around today...
it's good to see so much centering going on...

Well done, KoKo

a fallen giant in the forest knows his own roots are twined with all that came before and will come after...

Ents perhaps... and we as slow witted as we are and as unkind, do not know them for that which they truly are..


nicely done Koko
