How Did That Duck Fly Off With The Whole Pond?

Who wouldn't want to know that? Cause therein, that knowledge and thus seeming ability...might then result, well— just no telling of the wonders instore.

That could be the ultimate koan, winning the billion dollar spiritual lottery if solved— the end to every ill and all pain. The end to every gripe, grievance, worry and fear. No more wars, or useless drama with anything! What munchkin wouldn't want that?

A key in all this, to me, is the word “pond,” which is a synonym for Buddha, Jesus, God, True Enlightenment, the Pinnacle of Knowledge, Super Duper Awareness, aka: swallowing the whole Shebang, and then ecstatically digesting it for eternity, or even longer. And even having the power to just make everything disappear; then the party might really get cranked up.

So yeah, how to fly off with the whole pond in our beak, or in a pocket under our wing in our heart? Seems worth a try. And we are working on it, aren’t we, with our every thought, movement and sound? So good luck to us.
