FRIDAY FEELINGS, presented by Bluefeather OM

Welcome to Friday Feelings where I pick an insight from our Archive and then ask: But what does it mean? I try to explain what it means (for myself) and then I defer to you for your thoughts!

'Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.'  (Lin Yutang)

At this point, I'm supposed to ask: But what does it mean?

I won't this time, though, if that's OK. Anything I add to the quote would be non-essential!😊

My favourite pick from the Insights Archive is # 169. The quote is just two lines from a  translation of an old, obscure Zen poem called The Jewel Samadhi. I'll talk about it next week, but in the meantime, here's the first line:

'Like gazing into a jewel mirror, form and reflection view one another...'

The next line is so profound that it could actually change your life! (I'm not kidding!)

Tune in next Friday and I'll add my Friday Feeling this time in an attempt to explain it. Hopefully, you'll have a moment to contribute your own thoughts!

Actually, the quote reminded me of the mirror scene from the Marx Brothers'  Duck Soup. It's just three minutes long but I guarantee it will make you laugh!

Duck Soup, Mirror scene

Talk to you next Friday!
