Just A Thought ~ DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT
PEOPLE
"The wise student
hears of the Tao and practices it diligently. The
average student hears of the Tao and gives it thought
now and again. The foolish student hears of the Tao
and laughs aloud. If there were no laughter, the Tao
would not be what it is."
~ Chapter 41 of The Tao Te Ching,
translated from the Chinese by Gia Fu-Feng and Jane
English ~

to our predilections, like the children who came upon
a spider-web in the garden. The first was concerned
about where the spider might be; the second wondered
at its marvelous structure; the third said, “Oh,
look! A trampoline!”
