I think this is such an important message to maintain throughout the apparent highs and lows of life.

There are more Zen stories at the source.

I'm missing something, I think. What does it mean?

You're kidding, anonymology... right?

You're absolutely right Eric... a simple, yet very profound message. Thanks for clipping it!

anon, the way i interpret the message is basically that you never know what life is going to bring...so don't get too high at the apparent highs or too low at the apparent lows.

Great story Eric, thanks for sharing.

I really love this story. One of my favorites.
Peace.............

I wasn't kidding, Sage! I'm in a very literal and practical place right now - by circumstance, not choice - because I'm trying to juggle a 101 different things. Thus, these kinds of messages are going straight past me these days!

But I get it now.

This clip's so good that if you listen carefully you'll hear the sound of one hand clapping... Nice one Eric.

great clip- the message is so true...if you can keep yourself aware of things like this, your lifes a has to benefit.

anonymology, I hope things go well as you juggle yourself through 101 different things... such is life, fortunately or not Good luck and I didn't mean to offend.

Oh, you didn't Sage! Most people I know think I've lost my marbles recently!

And thank you!

awesome story. thanks for posting. it's something that we should all learn from

I think he could have said something better than maybe... 'Eh...' would have been better. Or 'whateva.'
