Tao-bter

The philosophy of Pooh.

 

Pooh is a Tao Master.only he doesn't know it so that makes him even more awsome at Taoism.

 

So Muffy, have you read, "The Tao of Pooh?" Sounds like it--that is an awesome book. One of my most favorites.

 

"The Te of Piglet" wasn't as good, IMHO. What do pigs know.

 

piglet is the most interesting character in the whole winnie the pooh series. he is the only character that reaches beyond himself and becomes something more than what he was. he is a very small animal, but he learns that even very small animals can be brave. I have read the Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet honestly i love them both.

Well, shoot, now I feel stoopid for missing all those subtleties of Piglet's personality. Piglet just seemed ditzy and self-absorbed to me. Now I'll have to go back and re-read.

 

It'll be interesting to see how it goes the second time around. That kind of stuff usually strikes different chords, depending on what space/place you are in in your life when you read it.

 

Did you read any Bach? Power of One, Jonathon Livingston Seagull? A little new-agey, but still good food for thought.

Absolutely. Richard Bach is one of my absolute favorites!!! i loved Running From Safety, Bridge Across Forever, and Illusions. before i started climbing and discovered the interweb i used to read a lot.

 

now i am not so bright

 

i agree that some books are worth multiple readings. they do strike a different chord and bring a new level (if you will) of awareness and understanding.

No wonder you're so smart!

 

I devoured those Bach books, but I hadn't heard of Running from Safety. How'd I miss that one?

 

 

But Pooh is still my fave. That silly ol' bear.

Do you remember Imelda Marcos? She had 5,000 or so pairs of shoes, reportedly.

I don't have any tatoos, but I like all those things too. Usually when I climb something neat, I try and bring back a pebble for my mom. She loves it!

 

AND, I agree about all those other muscles too. I've spent too much time studying physiology.......

 

i have 3 tattoos so far. i figure by the time i am 80 i will be covered my tatoos are all unique. my ex husband drew the one on my back. my youngest son drew the one that represents him, and the other one is not as unique but it means my oldest son's name in an ancient form of Chinese.

 

 

Muffs, you should help me come up with a neat symbol for balance..... I've debated getting a tatoo, but seeing as their all permenant and such, I've been hesitant......

i will tell you the same thing i tell people who are thinking about having children. if you have to think about it, don't do it.

 

if a child or a tattoo is something that you can not bare to live the rest of your life without, then you should do it. but you have to want that to the core of your being.

Who's not smart?!

 

That's a great analogy!

 

I have a tattoo; I don't have kids. I'd get more tattoos.

You guys rock. See now why I've always been into older women???! (NOTE: Not in any way shape or form calling you two "old"... uuhhmm.)

That's ok. Hey, it took me a lot of years to get to this age!

[AlpineK]

Same here.

 

I think I'd have to be talked into the idea of having kids by a younger woman. I don't have a set age for women...well over mid 20s and under mid 50s. That still leaves a lot of options.

if you have to be talked into having a baby DO NOT DO IT. kids change every thing. they need to be wanted.

 

i have both and i don't regret either

Sweetie, you are so young that damn near any woman of legal age is an "older woman"

[Sherri]

You're only as old as who you feel.

I'm guessing "mr." Archenemy is now female. "Sweetie"

[Dechristo]

more man than most and more woman than you're likely to appreciate

[minx]

i don't know about the rest of the women posting here, but i for one am glad to be older than i_like_sun. there's not enough money to make me go back to my early 20s. blech! being older is fun. every single one of these lines, scars, and crows feet has well earned story
