Mijn indruk van de Thai op de Farang

[brake034]

Een medeforumlid zei me eens, om het in Thailand te kunnen rooien: sterk, licht & flexibel als Bamboo. Ik denk dat dit heel dicht bij de waarheid komt. Genesis

“Did you notice that when you fell, you grabbed a hold of the bamboo and it bent nearly all the way over and still supported you??” The Zen Master asked.

“Yes,” the student replied. The Zen Master gripped the bamboo and pulled the bamboo over.

“Be like the bamboo,” The Zen Master said as he let go of the bamboo and it sprang back to its up-right position. “It is pushed around by the wind and yet it always bounces back and grows upward, toward the sun, enlightenment. Have you ever felt as though you were going to snap. Have you ever felt as though you were at your breaking point, emotionally?”

“Yes,” the student replied.

“Then bend, do not break, such is the way with bamboo. It endures the stress and finds away to bounce back!” The Zen Master stated. “This is called resilience.”

Het was allemaal een beetje uit onze jeugd.
Mooie tekst Brake034 hoewel Genesis die bamboe stok even gemist heeft deze ronde.
Morgen weer een nieuwe dag zullen we maar denken.

Sterker nog, de enige dag is NU.
