Some bloggers
Some bloggers are like buses - nothing for ages, then two of the same arrive together.
But this is just the Way (it is), or as the Taoist would say - the Tao. Speaking of which, I like this Chinese story by the Taoist writer Lieh-tse:
"A man noticed that his axe was missing. Then he saw the neighbour's son pass by. The boy looked like a thief, walked like a thief, behaved like a thief. Later that day, the man found his axe where he had left it the day before. The next day he saw the neighbour's son, the boy looked, walked, and behaved like an honest, ordinary boy."
I try to remember this story, whenever, in the grip of illusion of Perception, I feel that my life sucks. Then the next day, the same old life seems to me perfectly liveable and even charmed. The same marvellous old life .. that simply just.. IS.
