Happy Australia Day!

Just thought I'd post this poem that Kim sent me, thanks Kim! I've always been a frog.

froglessness

The first fruition of the practice
is the attainment of froglessness.

When a frog is put
on the center of a plate,
she will jump out of the plate
after just a few seconds.

If you put the frog back again
on the center of a plate,
she will again jump out.

You have so many plans.
There is something you want to become.
Therefore you always want to make a leap,
a leap forward.

It is difficult
to keep the frog still
on the center of the plate.

You and I
both have Buddha Nature in us.

That is why
the first attainment
of the practice -
froglessness is its name

- Thich Nhat Hanh
