Three Blind Men

I drove by three blind
men walking down the
street. One had a white
cane. They held onto each
other 4 dear life.

Octuplet Madness

Drawn while listening to CNN's coverage of the hot topic.

Dalai Lama vs. River

He decided that he'd
rather talk to the
river than ^ 2 the Dalia
Lama.

Sacrilege?

. . . world would end in 3 minutes.

On NPR, it was announced
it was 7:57 and that the
world would end in 3
minutes. I wasn't startled.

Later I realized that if
the lights were turned off
(so to speak) it would be ok.

Great Class

I went 2 a great class
2night. I didn't learn
anything. Now 4 the
real challenge -- to dive
off the hundred foot pole.

Buddhist Koan, CASE 46.PROCEED BEYOND THE TOP OF THE 100 FOOT HIGH POLE

Master Sekiso said, "You are at the top of the 100 foot high pole. How will you make a step further?" Another Zen Master of Ancient Times said, "One who sits on top of the 100 foot pole has not quite attained true enlightenment. Make another step forward from the top of the pole and throw one's own body into the 100,000 universes."

Mumon's Comments:
Should there be any who is able to step forward from the top of the 100 foot pole and hurl one's whole body into the entire universe, this person may call oneself a Buddha. Nevertheless, how can one step forward from the top of the 100 foot pole? Know thyself!

Should one be content and settle on top of the 100,000 foot pole,
One will harm the third eye,
And will even misread the marks on the scale.
Should one throw oneself and be able to renounce one's life,
Like one blind person leading all other blind persons,
One will be in absolute freedom (unattached from the eyes).

"He said

A Piece of Cake

only assure her that
each day is an incredible
experience, some challen-
ging and some a piece of
cake.

Death Row at the Dentists

I'm in death row at the
dentist's office totally not
accepting the idea of wel-
coming, pain as a caring
friend, instead drugged
with valium so I can just
sleep. Am I chicken or wise?
We shall see.

The dentist is ur friend.

Leaf Rustling Down Driveway

Another version of the animation done yesterday.

ical.

Too Many Ideas

A long day. First I heard
a dharma talk on silence.
I decided not to ever fill
up the page in my draw-
ings. Then he told how
his dog grabbed his hand
through his mail slot, so
I said that would be my
drawing except then we
were talking hummers &
I said they kick ass &
he said that should be
my drawing and now
with so many great art
ideas floating in my th
ick skull I feel absolut-
ely impotent tonight as a
potentially practing artist.

V day

V day is a great day because
it's about love, which, when
we ignore unpleasant junk,
is truly what keeps us
alive.

3 Monkeys
