For the old times

Sunday, 22 July 2007 By Chato

A bit of nostalgia?

Here is our little John doing what
Oz loves him for most.
Are we to no longer enjoy the antics
of this carefree boyish trickster?

We lost Stan (Stan who?) recently,
and I wonder if we could take another
loss of such magnitude.

Who would be there to spring out
of the polished porcelain dunnies
of Kirribilli House, or roam the
cobwebbed wine-cellars like a giant
greasy freeloading rodent?

Pithy Quote

Silence put together by thought is stagnation, is dead, but the silence that comes when thought has understood its own beginning, the nature of itself, understood how all thought is never free but always old - this silence is meditation in which the meditator is entirely absent, for the mind has emptied itself of the past.
