One day Chuang-tzu and a friend
were walking along a riverbank.
"How delightfully the fishes are
enjoying themselves in the water!"
Chuang-tzu exclaimed.
"You are not a fish," his friend said.
"How do you know whether or not
the fishes are enjoying themselves?"
"You are not me," Chuang-tzu said.
"How do you know that I do not know
that the fishes are enjoying themselves?"
***
I am ready for the beach.
The cottage is ready, and I am very ready.
Morning, walks at Baby Beach,
and
afternoons on the lanai watching
the great sea turtles come into the cove to rest.
I AM daydreaming today.
How do you know that I am not here?
(above quote)
Aloha,
Me
