But it can be said best with no words. If we were both present together, it could probably be said without words, maybe, I don't want to mislead anyone. But you are there and I am here, zd told me without even telling me. One, two or three words. What's the Zen stick called? It could be pointed to with the Kyosaku. sdp We do not have to be in person to recognize when another is relating from this:  ----------------- You have an expectation about the type of answer you want from others. I'll leave you to that expectation. |

Once you get the answer, you will understand more the point, by watching for the shift described above, posted earlier this morning. sdp Well okay - last try: being in the present or 'now' - I think robi pretty much said it, too. But how do you know that you are present, now? What is present? sdp |

That picture is probably from Douglas Harding, I posted to look, for a hint. It's a good hint. One, two or three words. sdp |

If zen dancer has anything to contribute, that's welcome.
Did you think it would be this hard for anyone else to get?

In a study of 200,000 ostriches over a period of 80 years, no one has reported a single case where an ostrich buried its head in the sand (or attempted to do so).

The views are still increasing at a pretty good rate, so there is still interest. I'm going to be gone for a few hours, maybe you can pool your resources or something (but don't ask zd for the answer  ). I'm going to give one last hint. I thought of it last night but forgot until a few minutes ago. I'm glad I forgot it, saved the best until last. In the film The Matrix, what did Morpheus and the others have to do to get Neo out of the Matrix? sdp |

OK, last one for a while. We all have heard that when an ostrich wants to hide, he buries his head in the sand. Why doesn't this work? sdp That's why I worded it, we have all heard. sdp |
