This week: a koan for you
A little drop in the bucket, Darling, that’s all it ever takes … to move oneself – one’s Self – outside.
In the air this week, tiny happy particles parade & promise to close my throat. Just a drop in the bucket. Dancing along my oblivion. Bringing joy to those less sensitive than your Hot House Orchid Auntie.
(I’m delicate, Darling, didn’t you know ?)
Day in / Day out, your Auntie counsels Birches, Willows, & Cedars … others with views she’ll never see; roots deeper than she’ll reach; trunks that, to hug, require loved ones greater in number than …
One.
One drop in a bucket. One splash in the sea.
And everything changes …
For those of us who live by words. Us cerebral souls. Us fools. The drop that changes everything could appear as a purr …
As a word we wouldn’t recognize.
We’d fail to hear it again & again … until the world around us roared: PURRRRRRR !!!!!
„Why don’t you know this already !?“ PURRR
„How could you think that ?!? You’re smart.“ PURRR
„When will you get this ??“ (Tonight ?) PURRR
purrr, purr, purrrrrr, purr
On the phone & in person, your Auntie sits with executives, business owners, & their loved ones. Listening, with an open heart.
When your Auntie was a child, as you know: she lived in the woods. People who „camped“ often brought with them plastic hoops of ascending degrees. Erect, they’d pour liquids & drink from these contraptions as if they were cups.
But, as is often true, ideas that things we can buy will protect us from burns proved false. And, eventually, as with all things not real, these „cups“ could not even stand on their own.
When you no longer know the meaning of „cup“ & you cannot respond to „purr“ … are you you ? That once magnificent cerebral soul corporations paid big money to bring here … „You“ ?
That same seemingly magnificent soul that once had views, roots, & loved ones more than …
Just one drop in a bucket. Just one splash in the sea.
Is that all it takes to transform You into Me … ?
Purr
