This Place Is a Stranger

Coffee addicted Junebugs at Starbucks.

I have spent some time in random research on GrassCity.com forums, and recently found this Zen parable listed.


Ryokan, a Zen master, lived the simplest kind of life in a little hut at the foot of a mountain. One evening a thief visited the hut only to discover there was nothing in it to steal.

Ryokan returned and caught him. "You may have come a long way to visit me," he told the prowler, "and you shoud not return emptyhanded. Please take my clothes as a gift."

The thief was bewildered. He took the clothes and slunk away.

Ryokan sat naked, watching the moon. "Poor fellow, " he mused, "I wish I could give him this beautiful moon."

I was at work and Laura was scared. So she prepared for the worst.

I thought it was a really simple drawing with a great story.

So following the last post I made and really hitting home with this one, my posts are going back to their roots. Nature, Actual interests, and fun.

Hope you guys think this is as amazing as I do.

Diving the Great Barrier Reef is one of a thousand life goals I have. But it makes the top 3. After the jump you can find some facts about the reef. And a new interest of mine(they never stop coming).
More.
