There are Chemists who spend their whole lives trying to find out what's in a lump of sugar.
I want to know one thing. What is color ?

~ Falling into Life...Catching Impermanence ~

One of the things I have realized (I think) is that we all fall, and fall often.We are also always caught , by the same hands, each time. Think about it and it May dawn on you too

                                  THE TRUE TEACHER ~ HEALER

I was with the Ancient Taoist Sage the night before last, as he had some new medicines for my lacking energy and  body aches and pains in general.

The Old Sage related this story which he has shared with me on many an occasion .:

"It is said that in the Taoist perspective of the Path, that for a person to truly develop, they must suffer 'One Great Disease'. Now this disease might not be an actual sickness -

It can be anything that deeply challenges us to overcome our prejudices, our weaknesses, our fears and our ignorance."

I promised Mountain that this would be a shorter Blog than usual because, well, its simple...in quietness, the Deer approaches...The Deer denotes gentleness, both with oneself and others. The Deer speaks of innocence (regardless of our age) as well as the gentle luring to a new adventure, a new chapter, even a new dream, as we Let Go of the old.
