: josef,
:
: I agree that one's motives can be as
: revealing as the words themselves.
:
: What I am noticing about myself is that I am
: starting to have fewer motives for using
: words. And my posts are starting to get
: shorter. Not all of them, but more and more
: are getting shorter and shorter. I like to
: think more succinct.
:
: I am working on becoming more efficient with
: my choice of words. The whole cannot be
: said. So why try to say everything. Just say
: enough. Kind of like a sculptor knowing when
: to quit.
:
: Butcho
:
: I like that. An old Indian saying:
: "Stop painting when picture
: finished".

: Greetings Josef
:
: If words and concepts are ambiguous then,
: that's their nature.
:
: When we first perceive "what is"
: and then try to communicate our experience
: of it, it seems the original "what
: is" gets lost. We also seem to have the
: desire to share our reality of "what
: is" so we might connect with others. Of
: course there are levels of shared
: understanding of what the "what
: is" is, but since we have a
: differentiated reality we are never in
: complete unity.
:
: I don't know, maybe we can be of "one
: mind" but not conscious of it. That
: leads me to the next question, where does
: wu-wei come from?
:
: Stop painting when picture finished
:
: In gar's head, the painting is finished
: before we start painting. We are just not
: aware of it.
:
: in peace,
: gar
:
gar,
So gar, have you finished learning how to play the flute yet?
