  1. What nice warm welcomes I got here!

     

    When even idiots are welcomed together with fools, it is a good sign that maybe the end is near.

     

    And Marblehead, since the Tao is everywhere,and nowhere will the Tao be absent from, where is that Path you are trodding on that is not of the Path? I recalled this old chinese saying "Juo lu . Tsao lu"

     

    Or in English, "sitting on a deer, looking for the deer"

     

    That the Path might well be what you are wandering about on all over the place. But since you are treading on it, you did not recognise it like that man sitting on a deer and looking for the deer.

     

    But never mind me. This idiot is here to learn and gather the pearls cast in front of me , near me, and behind me.

  2. I am a Taoist, or at least, I think I am a Taoist.

     

    I never have pets. I do have companions whether they have feathers or hair.

     

    My parrot joined me outdoors and fly freely and come back freely.

    My cat will follow me into the ocean when I call out. And they follow at my heels when we walked up the mountains. I did not

    have to use leashed and harness on my cats.

     

    Peope in the cat world and parrot world wondered how I trained them.

     

    They never understood that I regarded myself as the parrot and cat trainee. They were the trainers and I merely their student.

    My requests to them as a friend was always done with split second timing. I laughed when I saw humans who think they are trainers begging and shouting for minutes at their birds what my will respond in split second with military precision.

  3. Hi folks,

     

    I have to say hi to you all.

     

    In the past, before the days of Internet, I was in BBS and alt dot whatever talking inane stuff on the Tao and what was perceived of the Tao. I signed off as "Idiotic Taoist" or "Taoistic Idiot" or "Idiot on the Path" in those days.

     

    Just a while ago, I was suprised by a hit on an obscure part of my webpages.

     

    That was on http://www.shanlung....taonirvana.html

     

    That was on an equiry on Google.GR on "tseng lao weng". I followed that hit back to that google search and found your site listed as one of those that talked on " tseng lao weng"

     

    That was why I came into here, looked around a bit and thought I should at least say Hi to you folks here following that Path or even wondering of that Path or just talking and pondering on that Path.

     

    As to what my webpage is about, if you do not know of me before and you are into birds or into cats, you might like to click and find out.

    I think you will be very surprised.

     

     

    I cannot add to your knowledge or detract from your confusion on the Path. I know I probably do not know more than a fraction of 1 percent of all that is to know of the Path.

     

    A long time back, I decided I do not know what is right, and hence what is wrong for that matter.

    Guidance from me will be taken at your own risk.

     

    There are definately folks who know, and be happy to guide you to what they know or what they think they know.

     

    I am only an Idiot in comparision to all of them.

     

    Which is why then in the past, and now, and into the future.

     

    I signed off as
