[Du Lac]

When we talk of karma or action, it entails action committed by an agent, in this case, oneself, in the past. So what type of future will come about, to a large extent, lies within one's own hands and can be determined by the kind of initiatives that one takes now. Not only that, but karma should not be understood in terms of passive, static kind of force, but rather in terms of active process. This indicates that there is an important role for the individual agent to play in determining the course of the karmic process. Consider, for instance, a simple act like fulfilling our need for food. In order to achieve that simple goal one must take action on one's own behalf: one needs to look for food, to prepare it, to eat it. This shows that even a simple act, even a simple goal is achieved through action.

[My Erotic Tale]

Old man:
"Meditate, sit still and think of nothing at all!"

Little boy:
"Why,"

Old man:
"Because it's good for you. Helps you learn about your spiritual self."

Little boy:
"Okay!" <closes eyes> ... this is like 'Time Out' ...huh?"

I had to hunt this down because it seem to fit <grin>

is the glass half full or half empty
when all you have for a tool in life is a hammer
all your problems look like nails
I stand as tall as the red woods form my Bonsai bowl

it's all in how you see your world and your path
for each see the same trail differently.

when all you have for a tool in life is a hammer,
and you smash the glass
is there nothing left ...emptiness
or opportunity for total fullfillment?

[My Erotic Tale]

ZMP~ different leaves

Even twin trees
see the world
differently,

Or a tree with a 'Y'
one root and trunk,
two trees rise high.

A tree has many leaves
like when they fall
each having individuality.

Rain drops may all
look the same, but
where did they fall?

A multitude of blades
in a field of grass
each differently laid.

In a patch of clover
one has four leafs
among all the others.

A grain of sand
lay on a beach
in perfect blend.

For where there is one
there shall be more
like the stars and the sun

In our sister and brother
we recognize difference,
siblings are siblings to others.

A man is just a man
till he reveals his name
different but the same

Things may seem
to be the same, till
a difference is seen.

The one thing different
from all the others
is where you sit.

The forest is green
the jig saw complete
of different leaves.

buy some silicone and glass

[My Erotic Tale]

ZMP~ different leaves

A tree has many leaves
like when they fall individualy.

.....It is not done in an instant
.....but one by one they all leave.

Their rebirth is just as slow
one by one they slowly grow

.....so many trees growing leaves
.....one color green brightly glows.

When a forest tree falls
an opening is given for another

.....a new sprout reaches
.....as high as the others.

Trees don't all topple and fall
at the exact same time,

.....they tumble here and there
.....like syncrinized chimes.

Things may seem the same,
till a difference is seen.

.....an old tree lay fallen
.....near a two year sapling.

We all will one day leave
from our own family tree

.....the jig saw stays complete
.....with the different leaves.

I was passionate

I was passionate,
filled with longing,
I searched
far and wide.

But the day
that the Truthful One
found me,
I was at home.

[My Erotic Tale]

~

A worm slowly inches by
not very attractive
to the human eye.

Struggling with gravity
while climbing to it's destiny

weaving life from instinct
not knowing
what tomorrow will bring

to withdraw from the world
wrapped in itself
to slumber or death?

to arise
as a butterfly
like ...
opening your eyes
in the morning time.

Leaf on the wind
floats and dips
falling to the ground.

Mind on the wind
floats and dips
falling to the ground.

No mind, No wind.
No Ground.
All is One.

Edited to add; After i wrote this i remembered the Zen story about two monks watching a flag blow in the breeze. "Is the flag moving, or is the breeze moving?" asked one monk.

"Your mind is moving," the older monk replied.

tranquility in a storm

frustration in dripping drops of water

life's imperfection
chaotic introspection
perfecting itself
