And if you understand it, then you are free and understand all of it.

A koan is a paradoxical anecdote or riddle that illustrates the inadequacy of logical reasoning... Why would there be only one?  It seems there would be as many as you have the ingenuity to create.


--------------------
Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

I sold a lot of my CDs  several years ago and made about 4 grand on Amazon.  Then I decided I didn't like burned copies and brought them all back and another 4 grand on top of that. :crazy2:  Without music I'm as good as dead. It's one of the few things I've been able to count on thick or thin.

One of the upsides to my Kratom addiction is how enjoyable listening to music on that shit is.  As soon as it comes on I usually lay down in a semi nod and listen to one to three of my CDs and really pay attention. It's pure bliss most of the time.

I find myself nodding off every night at about 6 PM.

That's how I feel about weed, although generally music alone is enough its definitely worth enhancing.
