what is the sound of one hand clapping
how i want to be treated: like your eye and not like your hand.
i do not say this is how you should treat me.
rather, when i stay your hand from moving for my sake and ask of you “what do you see?”, i am telling you what i mean by how i want to be treated.
treat me the way you want to be treated, so that i might learn something most precious: that little something in the way you see.
for the golden rule is a golden compass: how we say what love means—without saying a thing.
this is how the word speaks before a word is spoken.
treat me the way you want to be treated, so that i can see how love moves well beyond me.
That was the belly laugh I was looking for today, Lua. Thank you for chiding me about struggling. And I rewatched the clip. It was better than I remembered it. Peace my friend.
Remember when Bart Simpson solved this koan by actually clapping one hand? 😂 Right view is first of the eight yes? Right view, leads to right thought leads to right action. Seems simple enough. Still I struggle
