Well, it’s been a rainy fall season and it does look like more rain in December to com. So climate change is showing its presence everywhere.  Our world is changing. How will it end?

I had the pleasure of meeting a lone Ranger from Canada, who visited Portugal to get some sun. Well he got wet. But I am glad to have met Kris on what he calls his last visit to this beautiful land.

a Cup of Tea

Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.

Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.

The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"

"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"

Aggression is a weakness of the Mind

Moral Fantasy is the strength of it.

Did you know. 

That Sanskrit is the oldest known Language in the world?

That it does not have Words for Objects

Dreaming.

Life is just a dream
of the One,

that is experiencing
this universe

He’ll wake up
in us, If at all
to consider the Purpose

of his Evolution.        

Waiting too long

Well, don’t just stand around
Do something

Such a large, beautiful world
Waiting for mankind
To finally grow up

Such an astonishing world
Full of magic
Dying away slowly

Waiting too long
Can be dangerous

Being conscious

Being conscious is such a great reward.

To become a witness of this growing and diversifying Universe, and to be able, step for step, thought for thought, to grow to understand and cherish some of it’s beauty.

Insight

“I was 6 years old. I was in the kitchen and I was watching my little sister in her highchair drink milk. I suddenly saw, that it was sort of like God pouring God into God, if you know what I mean.
