This is definitely more your speed, Barry - Please do us a BIG FAVOR, and
continue to talk about your cafe experiences and movies, and television shows,
and playing with your roommate's daughter. You know something about these
subjects, and although they do not speak to your spiritual paucity, and are
somewhat irrelevant to this forum, at least it is not a stream of egotistical
BS issuing forth.
Similarly, while you are sucking down your beer as a form of relaxation, I
have been photographing deer in the park. Please continue to live in the past,
enjoying Cafe Zen, while I enjoy Cafe NOW. Now always trumps 'zen'.

While others on this forum demonstrate their spiritual advancement by trying
to get those who disagree with them, you'll have to forgive me if I prefer to
just sit in a sunny cafe and take in the scene.
The first thing I notice is that no one in the cafe is arguing, or seems to
feel they need to. No one is trying to sell anything, whether it be their
belief in something, or their disbelief. No one is trying to demonstrate their
superiority. In fact, most of them seem to be far more in the moment and
actually *enjoying* the moment than any of the spiritual elite on FFL have
been in years. Go figure.
Across the cafe
young woman with waist-length red hair
feels the sun on it and shakes her head with joy
and twenty people pause in mid-sentence
brought to silence by the beauty of the lightdance
