Love comes in many forms, and often indirectly - sometimes it is taking the time to go out for them in a storm to cover their head with your cloak, while the rain pummels you and lightning cracks the sky and say "it's okay', the rain will stop and you'll once again see the sun"


cuddling the sensei saves lives, and showering with the sensei conserves water, it's for the planet,

“If you have it, Love, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have.”

this helped make my day

Tanya Winters I've just realized you are the standard by which I judge helpfulness and kindness and all those "knightly" things by. And damn did you set that bar high.


scot quote of the day - a text message is as much a conversation as- a grain of sand is a beach - conversation like fighting, like a tango, is a dialogue

scot quote of the day 1 - you are not attracted to decent hard working sweet passionate adventurous men - hon ney the problem just may be you

Love like your life depends on it. Because it Does

scot quote of the day 2 - ( ran into old friend on the train ) subject: Marital advice - sweety you should be more direct and boink more
Husband - sensei is a wise man

Some people just need a random fatal beating for being the bastard lovechild of arrogance and stupidity - lol

scot quote of the day - your purpose is to subtract stress from me, not add to it - do you really want me to review

scot quote of the day 1 - dude you've been single longer than I have, so long your right hand decided to friend zone you

you will always be my hero, was the best thing I heard today

Some days after the gods beat you like a red headed stepchild, kick you in the nuts, and steal your wallet, you just have to keep fighting because what other choice is there. Some things get lost in translation, others evaporate in the confusion of muddled context. But love is, hope is and faith is. Worth fighting for.


 

Love comes in many forms, and often indirectly - sometimes it is taking the time to go out for them in a storm to cover their head with your cloak, while the rain pummels you and lightning cracks the sky and say "it's okay', the rain will stop and you'll once again see the sun."

A sensei question asked of me today - "My Sifu said, The dragon can never make its home in your heart because the Tiger has made it's den there long ago, There is nothing more I can teach you, you belong to the world now."
Firstly, "What did My Sifu mean by "you belong to the world now?"
second "What is my path back to the light or am I destined to live this life of darkness until I am reborn and start this journey again.?"
He left the path of Buddha and took up the sword.

My answer - the path of bhuddah and the path of the sword are not mutually exclusive -

the dragon is serenity, spiritual, with power, the tiger is unfocussed , physical, rage - you belong to the world now means - you exist and belong to the material world , not the spiritual. The path back to the light is to rid yourself of desire and expectation, all of the worlds suffering comes from what we covet, not what we need. sleep when you are tired, eat when you are hungry, drink when you are thirsty, be thankful for both the sun and the rain, and be water, flow and adapt, do not be forceful because force cannot beat force. The path to the light is the path of the darkness because desire blinds us.

here is what the student had to say,

I read the response and yes, it makes perfect sense. That's why I knew I had to ask a Sifu only they can capture terms and phrases so sensibly and with so much meaning. I am forever in your debt, thank u be well and may peace, charity and good fortune be with you all the number of your days kind sir -bows-

scot quote of the day - Sensei witnesses 20 something Guy in a profanity filled yelling rant at his girlfriend - I wasn't going to get involved - I just wanted my cigarettes, the store had families in it. I said " excuse me."

Guy -excuse you ****ing yourself ass****

Scot - listen infant, I have injuries older than you, and unless you want to have PTSD from me choking you with your umbilical cord, Show some manhood and treat your lady with respect. I don't have to curse once to put you back in your womb and hope you develop more, you zygote. I will eat you.

Guy ( attempts a witty retort, stumbles )

I go in for the kill

Scot - these conversations are so much easier with you X-box and action figures. Yelling at your girl doesn't make you a man, your really bad ink doesn't make you a man, being a man - makes you a man - Now grow up and apologize.

He stormed out with his girl - the cigarettes were free of charge

sensei awesome moment of the day - Christmas came early - I went to finish Christmas shopping in the rainy chaos. At the toy store, I picked up a few needful thing and was watching an older boy chasing his little sister with a foam sword. He was swinging it wildly. Their poor mother was on her last nerve.
I asked if mother was ok. " He won't stop chasing her and being a bully."
I said " Give me one moment."
I took one of the foam swords and took the little girl aside. Put my back to the boy.
" He won't stop chasing me."
" I know, but here's what you do. It's called a retreat thrust"
After a quick demo. I continued shopping and waited. The berserker rage overcame the boy and he started charging her. She planted her feet and held the foam sword out in front her. The boy ran straight into the foam point and stopped. Completely stunning him and poking him in the nether regions. The mother burst out laughing and applauded. The girl giggled gleefully the way only little girls can. The boy stopped chasing the sister and I struck a blow for kids who were picked on, of which I was one. To me, that was my gift of the magi.
