The I Ching on The I Ching

[heylise]

2.5 still sticky and yellow from all the yolk. Born with a caul - lucky omen?

 

[bruce]

2.6 Tumbles around on the ground with the yolky, fiesty one. (kinda enjoys it too!)

 

[bruce]

(coach called timeout) I think maybe cuz of the dragon porn. snickers

 

[rosada]

3.1 Picks Self up, dusts Self off, checks for missing body parts "What planet is this, anyway? Hello? anbody out there?"

 

[bruce]

lol

3.2 Someone appears on the horizon, they are beckoning to me to follow. They say they know the meaning of my life and all the steps I need to take to find my hearts desire. They say they have a kind of map and they can make it much easier.. I'm lost, I don't know where I am, but I'm not sure they can be trusted, not yet ?

 

[heylise]

3.3 Maybe in the forest? Sure they have no antlers? Some foresters disguise as deer. Or vv. One has to be careful nowadays..

 

[bruce]

3.4 Don't ask me; am just a fool trying to set tree spirits free.

3.5 "Can you give it to me?" he asked Ramana.
Ramana answered: "Yes, I can give it to you. But can you receive it?"

 

[rosada]

3.6 "Oh geez, I think we're not in Kansas anymore."

 

[bruce]

(ok, I'll bite)

4.1 The young approaches the ancient of days. Tolerant and inexhaustible is the Sage. Curious and persistent is the young one. Water gathering upon the earth, not knowing which way to go. He wants to do right.

 

[micheline]

4.1 continued
And the sage says:
"a dragon lives forever,
but not so little boys.." (or girls)
Maybe the dragon image
needs to make way for other toys.
Meaning of life? Fruits of your soul?
get serious!
Frst you gotta learn how to walk.

 

[bruce]

4.2 Oh, I know about fruits already. Learned that last year in the school yards. Is dinner ready? Have a date.

 

[micheline]

4.3 cocky little whippersnapper, aren't you? Lose the attitude. You're grounded!

 

[bruce]

lol wow

 

[bruce]

4.4 Ain't touchin that one. No sense entangling myself.

 

[bruce]

4.5 Mojo, my dog, has learned when and when not to bark. But once in awhile he gets a little carried away with his watch-dogness. But he?s a good dog.

4.6 Scolding him only sends him into his private retreat mode, just as with most teenagers. But talking to him as I would to myself, he gets the picture and becomes a more discriminate barker, and also a more effective watch dog to boot.

 

[rosada]

5.0 Our story so far...After volunteering for a secret mission that nobody will tell him anything about, our young Dragon swollowed a strange potion and awoke in a foreign land. Uncertain what to do or where to go he eventually connected with Ramana, seemingly a helpful guide. Not recognizing this connection nor the culturall differences in this new country, Drago made jestures that Ramana interpreted as not showing proper seriousness or respect. Fortunately Drogo's faithful dog, Mojo, had incarnated with him (see "Time out" thread for picture of who's channeling Mojo), and instinctively recognizes the Guide. We join them now sitting in an open meadow, getting aquainted and sharing a Light snack...

 

[heylise]

5.1 The rain is pouring down, only dogs, no cats this time. Ramana took care of that, it would have upset the dogs - raindogs, mojodogs, all of them. But a Light-Snack is what makes waiting in these dark times bearable.

 

[bruce]

5.2 Got sand in my shoes and the sound of bees buzzing. Time for siesta.

 

[rosada]

5.2 "What's with this doggone rain?" yelps Drago, "This weather map doesn't say anything about rain but now the river is rising and you're just sitting there, and what are we going to doooo?"
"Too much Light too soon" sighs Ramana silently to himself. To Drago he makes no answer, yet the rain dies down.

 

[rosada]

5.3 Ramana gives Drago - who is now sound asleep in 6 inches of mud - a gentle nudge. "Pay attention Little Dragon. this is no place for a nap. The misquitos are vicious here. "

 

[soshin]

5.4 And it was at this time and at this place when our little dragon almost "seized his fearless roar". Because when he saw the big, big flood coming to his seemingly cosy swamp, his voice was not much more than a squeak.

And he had to do what he did then...

Because Ramana almost yelled at him!

 

[bruce]

5.5 Don't bother me. Haven't you read 5.2 where it says to let unrest pass and use the time to gather strength? Or 4.2 where the young man leaves and finds a woman? Now leave me alone while I eat. Little Dragon indeed... go read and come back when your mind is clear.

 

[soshin]

5.6

Ouch!

 

[bruce]

5.6 Realizing how rude that may have sounded, he bites his tongue and serves the others tea. Wondering what the heck they want this time. (lol) Becoming a man is a bitch. But a hero?s quest he?s on, and he must leave behind convention, and yet still remain open to all possibilities.

 

[martin]

5.7
Wait, wait, wait!
Oh my god, I'm again too late!

 

[void]

6.1 This ramana is someone elses guru, not mine. There is conflict in this for me, feels like someone pushing their religion at me !! There now I said how I feel I suppose I better shut up and not press the conflict further as I won't win, but I am not happy. Hmmm must not press conflict, I must not press conflict, I must not press conflict...it makes my ego show (still don't like it tho)

 

[void]

6.1 cont. Besides my inner guide is female and called Sharon !

 

[bruce]

6.2 Serves more tea, smiles to Void. You're my friend. And that guy over there, the one who always arrives late, he's my friend too. At least I hope he is, because he was in my dream last night.
