Wat’s Carbon Water-N-Stuff Thread - Concepts In Iron And Wood!!!

I have a couple of new bits to sight in. We'll see.


I rather like the smell of cordite in the morning . . . .


Bleh.

I'm more into the stillness and smell of a sunrise at the lake. I don't even have to have a line in the water for it to just seep into my soul and quiet the demons within.

When it comes to guns, if I ain't aiming at something what's needing shot, Imma gonna wait until after 2nd breakfast before I go pulling on a trigger. And even then you best not come between me and the thermos with the hot cocoa in it.

No you caint have none, gitcher own cocoa.
 
I like to walk alone on country paths, rice plants and wild grasses on both sides, putting each foot down on the earth in mindfulness, knowing that I walk on the wondrous earth. In such moments, existence is a miraculous and mysterious reality.

People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child--our own two eyes. All is a miracle.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh



Practice not-doing, and everything will fall into place.

~ Lao Tzu



The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.

~ Theodore Rubin



Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.

~ Henry David Thoreau

Appreciate the miracle, and that is yet another miracle.


We don't have to control every fucking aspect of every fucking thing - which is good, because we simply don't have that kind of power.


Put away the noise and appreciate the quiet.

What?

THE pattern is...

1 - 1,2,3,4
2 - 1,2,3,4
3 - 1,2,3,4
4 - 1,2,3,4
5 - 1,2,3,4

Anything else is "modern" arts. Unless it's an automatic, then it's an abomination.

Yes, I like that one too.


I also like one, two, three, overdrive.
 
We hope your misguided hate keeps you warm at night.


It would seem to since you live in the hell of your own mind . . . .
 
The meek man is not a human mouse afflicted with a sense of his own inferiority. He has accepted God's estimate of his own life: In himself, nothing; In God, everything. He knows well that the world will never see him as God sees him and he has stopped caring.

~ A.W. Tozer



Even though the training in ethics takes many forms, the ethics of abandoning the ten non-virtues is their basis. Of the ten non-virtues, three pertain to bodily actions, four to verbal actions, and three to mental actions.

The four verbal non-virtues are:

1. Lying: deceiving others through spoken words or physical gestures.
2. Divisiveness: creating dissension by causing those in agreement to disagree still further.
3. Harshness: abusing others.
4. Senselessness: talking about foolish things motivated by desire and so forth.

The opposite of these ten non-virtues are the ten virtues, and engaging in them is called the practice of ethics.


~ From "The Pocket Dalai Lama"
