Fluffybbw | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 08:54 pm     HI everyone, do you mind if I join in for awhile? I'm getting pretty tense reading the Marc vs. Ger thread so I thought I would stop by, I brought my cat with me, he loves to sit in laps and be petted, a cat's purr always helps me relax. Also for refreshments I brought some Russel Stover chocolates, Gouda cheese and crackers, fresh strawberries and some chilled white wine, please help yourselves. I also brought a couple of Nancy Wilson cd's if anyone is interested in listening to them. Thanks.  |

Goddessatlaw | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 09:01 pm     Nope, nope nope - stay with us. The Nazis and Jews aren't offended, even though the Canadians and Muslims are still smarting a bit. PS Roddy and Chiara going at it - you have to stay!! |
Loppes | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 09:02 pm     Draheid, Damn, where is the Canadian Beer? I want Molson's on the top shelf! Lon |
Goddessatlaw | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 09:04 pm     Gawd, Oregon is going to be so disappointed in us. Could someone at least whip off a chant between slugs of moonshine here, please? |

Draheid | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 09:27 pm     Moved to the Late Nite Social Club The bar that is, the thread is still open for those who need it! |
Cyn | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 09:33 pm     Goddesatlaw, here's one for Oregon. this isn't mine. it's from Ikkyu Sojun (1394-1481). the enjoyment of poetic beauty may well lead to hell. but look what we find strewn all along our path; plum blossoms and peach flowers! or many paths lead from the foot of the mountain but at the peak we all gaze at the single bright moon. |
Oregonfire | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 09:38 pm     Thank you, Master Cyn. Here is some wisdom from Sage Zhengjue. Enjoy on a lotus blossom. Withdraw now from the invisible pounding and weaving of your ingrained ideas. If you want to be rid of this invisible turmoil, you must just sit through it and let go of everything. Attain fulfillment and illuminate thoroughly. Light and shadow altogether forgotten. Drop off your own skin, and the sense-dusts will be fully purified. The eye then readily discerns the brightness. - Hongzhi Zhengjue (1091–1157) |
Shoofly | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 10:02 pm     Does one have to be a lizard or snake ...'to drop off your own skin'? If so, can I just go with the 'withdraw now' part? Perhaps the lizards in the house could use the same sentiments after living in that environment. |
Hillbilly | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 10:05 pm     ...hillbilly walks in, sits in rockin chair...them late nite folks is a 'fast' crowd! |
Cyn | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 10:17 pm     Hillbilly, here's one for you. bare-chested and bare-footed he enters the market, face streaked with dust and head covered with ashes, but a mighty laugh spreads from cheek to cheek. without troubling himself to work miracles, suddenly dead trees break into bloom.

Hillbilly | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 10:28 pm     When Earth's last picture is painted and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors have faded, and the youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it--lie down for an eon or two, Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall put us to work anew. And those that were good shall be happy: they shall sit in a golden chair; They shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comets' hair; They shall find real saints to draw from--Magdalene, Peter, and Paul; They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all; And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame; And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame, But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star, Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as They are! Rudyard Kipling |
Drpepper | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 10:45 pm     Hillbilly, glad your just kiddin about us Texans, cause Texas woman aint nuttin to wreakin with. I know, I am one. |
Hillbilly | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 10:47 pm     Actually...If I have to relocate to find a new job...Texas is my choice...I really do like the Dallas/Fort Worth area. My grandparents used to live there. |
