As the sun arose with its autumn angle the first feel of fall graced Deer Creek.
"Hey, pu gong ying, do you have anything to offer me this morning? I need some nectar, you know us humming birds are very busy and need all the energy will can find."
Yes my friend, please help yourself to whatever there is you need. For in your pursuit of this and that your being has giving you the ability to project into the future for all your apparent needs and wishes.
" Yes indeed, it seems that I spend a lot of time making up my minds map of this reality, in hope that it matches what you experience. That, What Is, reality."
"Why are you and I different, pu gong ying, in that I use projections and you don't?"
Perhaps, my friend, is that you move and i don't.
I don't seem to need to project the future because everything i need is already here.
You, on the other hand, need to remember the past so you can imagine the future so you know where to look for your food.
" So what is the (te) of sitting still?"
Perhaps, humming bird, as you sit quietly in that bush and see without projecting, your minds map will become better suited for your continued existence.
After its talk with master pu gong ying, humming bird flew to where it needed to go.
in peace,
