A parade marched through the town.
Everywhere was music: LOUD dancing and singing brass bands playing and kettle drums boom budda boom budda boom. Multi-colored lanterns exquisitely bright and beautiful designed and made with magical hands sewing magical threads onto magical bits of nothing and oh, those play people designed to look like others riding busy bicycles some with real wheels some with imaginary ones how on earth will we know which ones can be ridden somewhere in particular and which ones are just for fun? laughing out loud at their bright beauty and streams of thinking flow: Hey, I've got nowhere to go anyway! I'll take three candy apples oh, and one with caramel and that silly hat there and the electric blue one the one with the made-up wheels rainbow crepe-paper and hibiscus tucked in the spider-web spokes and ride off up to the moon like the kid in ET. --dedicated to Chantelle Rytter, with love and appreciation for your magic

analisa domenica
invites you to find out what you are. 
The nun Wu Jincang asked the Sixth Patriach Huineng, "I have studied the Mahaparinirvana sutra for many years, yet there are many areas i do not quite understand. Please enlighten me."
The patriarch responded, "I am illiterate. Please read out the characters to me and perhaps I will be able to explain the meaning." Said the nun, "You cannot even recognize the characters. How are you able then to understand the meaning?" "Truth has nothing to do with words. Truth can be likened to the bright moon in the sky. Words, in this case, can be likened to a finger. The finger can point to the moon’s location. However, the finger is not the moon. To look at the moon, it is necessary to gaze beyond the finger, right?" Archives
