I was reading a little Lao Tzu tonight. It's funny how much toasist wisdom has made it into the vernacular. For instance: wise souls don't hoard;/ the more they do for others the more they have,/ the more they give the richer they are...
Not that many people go around quoting the tao te ching, but we have this sort of sentiment in our cultural commerce...blah blah.
I wonder if it's the transcendentalists fault. Well, as much as I think Henry David and Ralphie Waldo can shove it up their rascist privileged colons, I would thank them for starting the popularization of eastern science/method/religion/philosophy in North America. It's enriched my life.blah blah. DT Suzuki and Vivekananda were probably 1000 x's more important in the long run anywho.
What else...I wish i had more time to write some of the neat people I've started to find on this site.
In a month I'll be done with school and I'm going to San Franscisco for 4 days. Any advice for a 1st time visitor to the bay area?
oh and check out this:
my new tatoo!
Anyway, I should sleep. Too much yurba!
