Believing is not easy unless it’s true

The trouble with most

missionaries is that they

want you to believe

the same as they themselves do.

Believe me it is quite true!

La Vache Qui Rit

What? A laughing cow.

Sounds much  like cheesy humour.

Smile when you say Moo!

Tea with Socrates

Tearing off the page with my taoism scrawl, this was two pages further on my note-pad;

 

What fun it would be

if Socrates came to tea.

Questions, more and more

Taoism

A quick note:  I wake up quite often during the night; why I don’t know. But, in order to go back to sleep I count syllables (not sheep). I woke up this morning and my bedside note pad had this scrawled on it like public toilet graffiti.

Speculating on

what is or is not is a

waste of energy

History and the fate of walls

While in east Berlin

I saw the unpainted side

of the Berlin wall

Today, it’s no longer there

Torn down by happy people

Not so O.K. Corral

Arizona state.

Once I was in Old Tucson

Saw a great gun fight

Lot of noise but no one died

Not the same in Chicago

Why I wear boots in the Desert

You are not alone

In the desert. Unseen eyes

stand guard, watching you.

scorpions, spiders and snakes

will strike  at the unwary.

My Imagination wanders

A swarthy Mexican

Elongated on the ground

a sombrero on his nose

like a parasol
