  1. Now, when you buy a DVD/Bluray, it often includes a free "digital" copy. Amazon should do that with books & Kindle copies.
  2. @hb123 Nostradamus?
  3. Many things I cannot do. I can, however, show you Jupiter.
  4. RT @hennahackles Robbie: "most people can't find Jupiter sober"
  5. Old friends, decent tequila, the circumjovial moons.
  6. @savageelizabeth def woulda been caught eventually. They would notice it was gone & hunt for it. Condolences.
  7. Though maybe that's not really a pun. Playfulness w/ indefinite pronouns, anyway. Something just not right about those pronouns.
  8. The Abbott & Costello routine, which is in Homer, is also in ancient Chinese Buddhist text. (explicated in Dōgen). Puns are universal.
  9. @hb123 (imagine history of European Philosophy if Judeochristian sacred texts EXPLICITLY asked questions about being/consciousness/the self)
  10. @hb123 I've frequently had similar musings this year. (& this guy was writing in Japan in 1230s!)
  11. @Buddhaworld no, Mr. Living Buddha, not my understanding of Buddhism. Quotations from the Busshō of Dōgen.
  12. Last two are #Dōgen
  13. "Understood in this way, entire-being is in itself completely and totally emancipated suchness."
  14. "…the 'being' that the Buddha-nature makes entire-being is not the being of being and nonbeing."
  15. Twitter-English needs to adopt Spanish verb "hay". Hay too many characters in "there is" & "there are".
  16. @hb123 I pick out & contemplate the great ones where I recognize them, but more often take position of agnosticism toward the others.
  17. @hb123 & I don't follow whatever god charged us w/the task of judging the worth of expressions. There are too many of them & I too ignorant.
  18. @hb123 as I said in a monadology conversation way back: my response to the shallow (or "bad art") is more often indifference than distaste.
  19. @hb123 again, I don't really disagree. I think your distaste for the shallow, in general, is more acute than mine. (cf, popular movies)
  20. @hb123 (which is not to say I care for the song.)
