   Road runners could be Taoists.   
   Compared to chickens, who cross the Road,   
   those who go with the Road, may go farther and further.   
      
   >>>>>> see , here's an example , if he didn't tell us ,   
   >>>>>> we would never know so he believes he will be read

   >>>>> Of course, ansa call tell us all kinds of things.  But we might not

   >>>>   
   >>>> but if he never told then we wouldn't know ,   
   >>>> there would be nothing to know , he has to ,   
   >>>> state his knowledge or its useless ,   
      
   Knowing nothing, emptiness, the void, the zone;   
   in more than one place; what is useless is viewed   
   as being what is essential for being, being nonbeing,   
   given: Taoist philosophy texts.   
      
   >>>> its not what you know its who you tell it too   
   >>>   
   >>> Oh, no knowledge is never useless.   
      
   Knowing how words work without working, how jnana yoga   
   is able to be as an other-yoga is, how enlightenment cans   
   can a strange phenomena and are sold, at times, one is.   
      
   Being free, entirely, from all cares, one wonders   
   does Mother Nature care. Does the Universe matter   
   with intent or does such an it simply do as it does.   
      
   Water nourishes all forms of life, without intent.   
   So may suggest a Taoist text. Utility of the useless   
   information waves, like a pebble in a pond, reach.   
      
   Without reaching a near to here, skipping stones   
   without being stoned, for the sake of its own,   
   one may own forms of knowledge ore knots.   
      
   >>>  It's use is in the use I make of   
   >>> it.  If I tell you, I gain no usefulness from any use you might make   
   >>> of it.   
      
   This morning, aye, learned how birds are more than lizards are said   
   to be dinosaurs on account of their hip bones are connected to their   
   thigh bones in the same Way. Semantics pertaining to extinction   
   varies and vary, depending on how a word is used changes   
   a meaning ever sewn slight a bit in horse's body-p'art.   
      
   >>if you don't tell it you get nothing and i get nothing   
   >   
   >So I do share what I have.  Maybe you will get something.   
      
   Once upon a time there was one   
   and only one single cell. That very one   
   was the first one, naturally. Until it divided.   
      
   Now, trillions and trillions speak to each other using language,   
   some known only to their selves as if they had or were, selves.   
   Private languages vary, naturally, unless they are artificial ones.   
      
   At times, language flowers flower.   
   Consciousness flowers flower.   
      
   To suppose a necessity exists, that a knowledge flower needs   
   to be shared, on or off the plant or vine, one could. Yet to know   
   how the flower flowering for no reason, as one simply does, and   
   is not separate from an entire universe one may sail to see how   
   an it is the universe its own self that flowers.
