Knowing others is intelligence;
knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength;
mastering yourself is true power.

If you realize that you have enough,
you are truly rich.
If you stay in the center
and embrace death with your whole heart,
you will endure forever.

We join spokes together in a wheel,
but it is the center hole
that makes the wagon move.

We shape clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that holds whatever we want.

We hammer wood for a house,
but it is the inner space
that makes it livable.

We work with being,
but non-being is what we use.

(Just a little something on the value of nothing. Enjoy.)

I can dig it.

Ahh, enlightenment! Such a big word about nothing.
You can get it back. It's not that difficult.
Do you remember what is was like when you were a little kid?

A master who lived as a hermit on a mountain was asked by a monk, "What is the Way?"

"What a fine mountain this is," the master said in reply.

"I am not asking you about the mountain, but about the Way."

"So long as you cannot go beyond the mountain, my son, you cannot reach the Way," replied the master.

 

[Squid]

The Way is laid at your feet at every moment.
How are you gonna step?

On a side note, I'm working on being the 'master' on the hill.
Goin' home to Colorado.

Just remember, I was almost ordained as a Buddhist priest but, I had to refuse.
It changed absolutely nothing in my life.

Man, that sounds stupid.

 

[DeeEff]

Everything sounds stupid when heard with preconceptions.

Android versions really good now!
Touch nudge & nudge left, up, right added recently.
Graphics and gameflow are as good as the Xbox360 on a Nexus 7.

Shame about ios - although you guys do have Zaccaria.

Yesterday I learned a valuable lesson: whiskey and paraplegia don't mix too well.

Ruh roh. Everything OK?

I've found that a little water is the best thing to mix with whiskey.

(If you're posting I figure you're (at least relatively) OK )

 

[Jeff Strong]

Yes, now that I can feel my face again.

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

couldn't feel your face!? what did you do before you drank the whiskey?

 

[Jeff Strong]

I had a couple beers and then a shot of whiskey, which apparently was enough to make my lips and arm go numb for a few minutes.

I learned my lesson: bad circulation + spinal cord injury + strong alcohol = bad. It didn't help that I had an empty stomach beforehand too, but I didn't get sick or anything....just numb, lol.

I'm fine today though. Not even slightly hungover.
