| Cultivating the factors of Enlightenment with the pure mind of meditation, you will stop all grasping. Taking no delight in attachment, and destroying all defilements, full of light, you will completely pass beyond the suffering of this world. |

| BANG!!!???***!!! Piglet lay there, wondering what had happened. At first he thought that the whole world had blown up; and then he thought that perhaps only the Forest part of it had; and then he thought that perhaps only _he_ had, and he was now alone in the moon or somewhere, and would never see Christopher Robin or Pooh or Eeyore again. And then he thought, "Well, even if I'm in the moon, I needn't be face downwards all the time," so he got cautiously up and looked about him. |

| If this myth is tragic, that is because its hero is conscious. Where would his torture be, indeed, if at every step the hope of succeeding upheld him? The workman of today works every day in his life at the same tasks, and this fate is no less absurd. But it is tragic only at the rare moments when it becomes conscious. |

| Quote of the moment |
| Adrift dissolving, bound for death; Though lumpish thou, a lumbering one— A lumbering lubbard loitering slow, Impingers rue thee and go down, Sounding thy precipice below, Nor stir the slimy slug that sprawls Along thy dead indifference of walls. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. poet, novelist. The Berg (l. 31–37). . . Selected Poems of Herman Melville. Hennig Cohen, ed. (1991) Fordham University Press. ~ |
