Just Another Zen Thing

Orchi conducted a preemptive strike and pinched my corny one liner, Nev...so...
Superficial as my knowledge of Zen is (very), I cannot help but feel those Zen Masters might find a fresh....
And the last three lines - I marvel sometimes at the way ordinary words attached to one another confirm that indeed \'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts\'.

Dear Sir, (I do this all the time to big companies and Govt depts - are you either?)
I am unhappy with the quality of your product. I feel more instruction should be provided.
What was a futile search of both Google and Utube yielded no relevant results for Gene Malloy….and so on…

I can remember many years ago when I was sitting in my local when one of my friends came in with a conger that he had caught.

I looked at the dictionary and came back disappointed, but then DA!, saw your notes - well thank you sir.
The amazing feat of accomplishment has its own reward, as your words in taking us there

Thanks for a new word and its meaning - - I like the sound gladding makes and am sure it would be fun just as your look back moon ago at you and more boys \"poking around at eel-pits\" - - will look soon at some video vintage practice of gladding - - and agreed as your last lines admit to need of self-caught eel-fish as food even in these days of easy bought meal-time abundance. A stunning piece of prose Nev.

devoid of your author\'s notes, these lines
transported me to that milieu you worded so vividly immersive:
\'Those grey remnants of waves
that repeatedly
spit and do laugh and do lap
at our feet
while we all squat like twats,\'
a poetic dreamscape in a read

Poem on a Plate
Doggerel Dave said:
Certainly one way of consolidating international relations is via a good feed (not into haute cuisine).
Just give us a few olives, a bucket of red wine n some goats cheese to wipe on the crusty bread….
An good will for everyone… I’m off for a nap after, as tranquility slowly seeps through my body.
Burp….

Haha, all of a sudden a memory flashed of Sophia posing by fridge light. Marcello could have been better to her. But ce la vie. My nan had a wall to wall, floor to ceiling mirror in the old house and we used to play in front of it. I think the aunt\'s went to ballet or something. But yeah, it was one big mirror! Rik.

Very insightful, schizophrenia is a mystery to me. My sister has it, and though I can read all about it, walking around it is hard. I never know what to say.

Why the compassion of man can be felt and given by some and not others is a mystery that evades us, your scribble is heartfelt and speaks for so many. Thank you, N, for your compassionate write.

Although I willingly give it, you don\'t really need an endorsement from me, do you Nev?
Encouraging to see the responses above.
You illustrate those ritualised repetitive behaviours, which above all, do not, I repeat, do not signal violent intent.
Of course, these folks are ignored because they are assessed as having little or no economic value.......
Thanks for putting it out there.

arqios said:
Your compassion is quite moving and inspiring. Of late we have met a couple of like persons but these were \'mountain folk\' of another sort. But the compassion exerted has to be the same as they had their proverbial bowls out in one hand and the other rubbing their grumbling belly. A bit of an inverse in method but the need is quite similar to their well being.

That’s sad ( maybe he thought the sparrows might accept him . I’m sure he didn’t mean to frighten anyone . Some people are very judgemental . I know that I have felt judged at times .. or treated differently . And it’s never nice . People with problems need compassion .
