{{{Frenchy}}} Welcoming you back with a short Zen story:

K'ang 14

As told by Jerry M. Pickard

With the last of his herb garden picked and bundled, K’ang allowed himself to stretch, sigh, and start back toward his dwelling, his
cat Mahica trailing first behind, then underfoot in the inscrutable way of cats.

“Boy, will you take these herbs and medicines below tomorrow?” A little anguished, the boy nodded. He said to K’ang, “must I,
Istva?”

“I thought you liked to go to the village and visit and trade, Boy, Am I wrong?”

“Teacher, from you I look at people with different eyes, now. I know they know things, but they bang and clatter in their ways,
and talk much, but say little. I become confused!”

“Listen to them, boy!” K’ang stood as tall as his bent body would allow, all his years as a grower of plants had hardened his hands
into twigs and his bones into brittle things, just to be a frame for his age.

“Within them is grace, and compassion, skill, art, and knowledge. Often, though, in their ideas, they seem to think that the way to
clear muddy water is to stir it, and then peer into it for answers. My way is to let it settle slowly, and do nothing. In both ways
there are answers.”

Row, row, row your boat
gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily.
Life is but a dream.

Howdy Seven,

they seem to think that the way to clear muddy water is to stir it, and then peer into it for answers. My way is to let it settle slowly, and do nothing. In both ways there are answers.”

Would seem true, answers can be gotten both ways. But when muddy water is stirred, peering into it until cleared might take a long time, and a lot of mud flowing in the meantime.

But to allow the muddy water to remain still, settle slowly, and do nothing, will get the same answers - only so much more gracefully.

Thanks for the "zen" story. Good for a Sunday - rather like football?

After 18 years of education, I can say that the most important course I took in all those years, the one that has the most impact today, the one I still use and couldn't do without is:

typing.

Yee Haw!!

Solvin' problems is like throwin' cattle!

Dig your heels in the big ones and catch the little ones 'round the neck!!

And ...Remember, even a kick in the caboose is a step forward!

minds are like parachutes--they only function when open.

Thanks, Seven. It's great to see you. (The knight wants me to convey his greetings as well!)
