How would you like me to act? What would you like me to say?

Head and tail

A monk asked Kyuho,
“What is the head?”
Kyuho said,
“Opening the eyes and not perceiving the dawn.”
The monk said,
“What is the tail?”
Kyuho said,
“Not sitting on a ten-thousand-year-old sitting place.”
The monk said,
“What if there is a head, but no tail?”
Kyuho said,
“After all, it is not valuable.”
The monk said,
“What if there is a tail, but no head?”
Kyuho said,
“Being complacent, yet having no power.”
The monk said,
“What if the head matches the tail?”
Kyuho said,
“The descendants will prosper, but it is not known in the room.”

True ... pretend play 'plays' an important role in children's development ... it helps to nourish imagination and creativity ... practice at being the student and the master perhaps, in many different areas of their lives ...

I forgot to mention everyday I wake up to a picture of my nana holding me up when I a little over one year old. I also have a plastic cube beside the picture that I infamously dropped into a vent and then I went into the vent to go get it. I was a hard find at that moment. Parents screwed down the covers after that.

I love waking up and seeing that everyday. hehehehe.

Or our lives. "All the world is a stage..." and all that.

At any moment we may be playing one role or the other. It is good know we're really just playing, though.

My brother's first commandment: "Thou Shalt Not Take Thyself Too Seriously" - a gift of the inner child.
