ORIGINAL: FrostedFlake I keep this one in my back pocket. MESSAGE TO A FRIEND You are what you think. Not what you think you are, just, what you think. That miraculous spark behind your eyes is very much more you than the whole of your body. Sit. Close your eyes. Breathe. Observe. If nothing you truly see, then watch for a while. Try to imagine nothing watching you, but don't try hard. Is there an end to it? Look to the edge of nothing. Look around. This is where you are. You are the only one here. Look around long enough and you will learn to see what it is you are looking around ... with. Amazing. To me. That each could be as I see myself, if I see clearly. But, then, the way I see it is just the way I see it, See? So. What do you see? The Japanese have an expression that expresses something similar... "a man is the room he is in". My Dad had an expression: "Don't count your chickens before they rip your lips off". No....wait....that was my Mom....Dad always said "A penny saved, is a cent".....no....hold on a sec.....just a minute here....I think that was Grampa..... DAD always said "you can lead a horse to water, but if you think you're ever gonna get it to do long division, or provide you with a full set of drawings for a 1,200 sf addition to your house, you're as fucking stupid as your Mother and all your friends in 3rd grade always said you were"...... Yeah....that's it....that's what Dad always said. Dad was nobody's fool.
