we put a different food in each dish then see in which order the dog eats them









I learned I better put the cabinet of links above the cabinet of haikus going forward if I want you to see the cabinet of links

PHILOSOPHICAL MOMENTS

Tom Raworth

dog food

we put a different food in each dish
then see in which order the dog eats them

cat food

we don't know why they do eat grass
it isn't an essential nutrient

  1. earlier this week i had a philosophical moment having to do with the chief end of man when reading David R. Loy's 2015 book A New Buddhist Path: Enlightenment, Evolution and Ethics in the Modern World


    “Because awakening to my nonduality with the world does not automatically eliminate habitual self-centered ways of thinking and acting, following a bodhisattva path becomes important for reorienting my relationship with the world.
    Instead of asking, “What can I get out of this situation?” one asks, “What can I contribute to this situation, to make it better?”

    this morning i came across an article from last year by the same author

    https://transnational.live/2020/11/22/terror-in-the-god-shaped-hole-confronting-modernitys-identity-crisis/

    it was listed at

    https://www.davidloy.org/articles.html

    his most recent book is Ecodharma: Buddhist Teachings for the Ecological Crisis (Wisdom Publications, 2019)

    that's a lot of reading

    if one feels like listening a song i like is nature boy - 'the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return' - here's a link to canadian singer celine dion's version
