Well, maybe it is a small step but at least we know that they know radioheads are more interested their careers than their party.

When I read the headline I thought the story was going to be that, showing maturity beyond their years, these young College Republicans had come to their senses and realized that, yes, Talk Radio shouters do breed contempt, disunity and hatred in our country...

But no. Stop. Change words "in our country" to "among the Republican Party."

Sew contempt, disunity and hatred in our country in order to elect Republicans--now that sounds more like some Republicans we've been watching over the years.

More likely Huckabites.

There are plenty enough koans already within posts across the blogosphere and I am attuned enough with Dao to be uncomfortable with any labels so I'll pass on intentionally posting any.

Are you familiar with the perennial philosophy?

According to the tenets of the perennial philosophy, people in many cultures and eras have experienced and recorded comparable perceptions about the nature of reality, the self, the world, and the meaning and purpose of existence. These similarities point to underlying universal principles, forming the common ground of most religions. Differences among these fundamental perceptions arise from differences in human cultures and can be explained in light of such cultural conditioning.

All humans possess a capacity, however unused and thus atrophied, for intuitive perceptions of ultimate or absolute truth, and the nature of reality. This perception is the final goal of human beings, and its pursuit and flourishing are the purpose of their existence. The major religions try to (re)establish the link between the human soul and this sublime and/or ultimate reality.

That's as much proselytizing as I want to do for now.

Very good question. Right there I can tell you're a Daoist. *g*

Ok. How about a "Daily Koan?"

"Flow like water between the cracks," is one of my favorites.

Perhaps you could post a "Daily Dao."

I am not in total agreement with that translation of verse 48. It was just the most convenient one at the time I posted.

I just "knew" it was something like that! I used the term "personal symbol" because avatar sounds so weird. Personally chosen symbol would have been better I suppose.

Bravo! ♪
