have been reading chuang tzu again
he speaks of doing and non-doing
those birds i watch on the bird bath aren't doing anything
they are being birds
if someone were to train them
and teach them what to do
they wouldn't be being birds anymore
POETRY AND COMMENTS ON WHAT I HAVE SEEN AND OTHER STUFF I DO SOMETIMES (probably not suitable for children or adults) (awareness is not a product of thought)

SECURITY ALERT
There is no security here. There is only the possibility of allowing the greater good to occur by not imposing your will to override what otherwise might happen. That something is incomprehensible to our mind as it should necessarily be because it involves letting go of all our ideas from which we have constructed an imagined haven for our lesser self. This prison ((haven) will exact from its creator the price which the word implies.
i didn't orginally write those words
but i agree with them

am 72 now
- ljr
- oklahoma, United States
- Am a 65 year old male work for wages guy. Am a big fan of Noam Chomsky (hope i spelled that right) and others. Almost 66 now. That's all for now. am now 72 Am also a fan of Christopher Hitchens although I don't always agree with him. Will complete 65 trips around the sun here on 12-14-2009. don't know what that means yet. The writings of Idris Shaw, Herman Hesse and Krishnamuriti are my favorites. And I have liked a lot of others. None of them popular. am 66 now. don't usually feel very united with all these states. am called lewis by those that like me and some who don't - am about to experience a 67th birthday - never expected to be there - so have no opinion yet christopher hitchens is dead now as are so many i left out woman and me forgive me if you can and if you can't so it goes i was here
