The silk worm i stood before a silk worm one day. and that night my heart said to me, "i can do things like that, i can spin skies, i can be woven into love that can bring warmth to people; i can be soft against a crying face, i can be wings that lift, and i can travel on my thousand feet throughout the earth, my sacs filled with the sacred." and i replied to my heart, "dear, can you really do all those things?" and it just nodded "yes" in silence. so we began and will never cease.

Exaggerating?" silk sounded shocked. "you don't mean to say that horses can actually lie, do you? hettar shrugged. "of course. they lie all the time. they're very good at it." for a moment silk looked outraged at the thought, and then he suddenly laughed. "somehow that restores my faith in the order of the universe," he declared. wolf looked pained. "silk," he said pointedly, "you're a very evil man. did you know that?" "one does one's best," silk replied mockingly.

Wisdom is like the rain. its source is unlimited, but it comes down according to the season. grocers put sugar in a bag, but their supply of sugar is not the amount in the bag. when you come to a grocer, he has sugar in abundance. but he sees how much money you have brought and gives accordingly. your currency on this path is resolution and faith, and you are taught according to your resolution and faith. when you come seeking sugar, they examine your bag to see what its capacity is; then they measure out accordingly.

Lastly, tea--unless one is drinking it in the russian style--should be drunk without sugar. i know very well that i am in a minority here. but still, how can you call yourself a true tea-lover if you destroy the flavour of your tea by putting sugar in it? it would be equally reasonable to put in pepper or salt. tea is meant to be bitter, just as beer is meant to be bitter. if you sweeten it, you are no longer tasting the tea, you are merely tasting the sugar; you could make a very similar drink by dissolving sugar in plain hot water.
Drinking Beer Drunk
My favorite fruit is grapes. because with grapes, you always get another chance. 'cause, you know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you're stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. but if you have a crappy grape, no problem - just move on to the next. 'grapes: the fruit of hope.'
