This is crazy... I Know I rated this a year ago... Something is rotten in StumbleLand... This is a most entertaining site... Part-Greek Mythology, Part-Tao Te Ching, Part-Point and Click Search Game. A labor of love, obviously. GRAPHIC INTENSIVE...can take a long time to download.
From page:
"Bad magicians are we, trying so hard but feebly to orchestrate and create wonder and magic in our lives instead of allowing it to arise spontaneously and surprise us. Instead we continue try to "make" it happen, which it rarely does - just a facsimile or pretentious substitute. Especially pathetic are attempts to replay or "re-capture" early magic through repetitious rituals like Christmas, birthdays and anniversaries. All we can do with any event is to launch it with preparation and then let it unfurl, as it shall in that moment. We try, but we can't chase life or it runs and hides."

Reminds me of that vernacular tao te ching I saved a few days ago.

"The ANIMATOR."
Great animation! A mythologizing of the science of how it probably goes.
I didn't see that God the Jester was cynical... just doing what he does... Puts it in motion. It only Seems like a joke. . . to Us!
By the way, this cartoon was made by Nick Hilligos, a famous stop-motion animator from Australia.

From the page: "You know, if there's anything I learned from the little I learned in all my 25 years, it's that: if you always think of reasons not to seek that which frees you, then you'll always find something to keep you locked in your own prison, your own concept of self/selves."
Klassy's wisdom reminds me of my own thoughts when I was early 20's...only I feared to act on them. Now, I just got off the phone with my neice/friend (same age/same up-bringing)... and she was saying this same thought. She is at a point in her life where she IS daring to act, after 50 years of putting it off... She just spoke to my Mom (recently lost her vision).. "Grandmother said,"Time is Not Infinite... there are things I have wanted to do for several years and I put them off and now I can no longer read my papers, so if there is something you want to do, Do It Now!" Yeah, but Mom always did like to give advice, rather than take it... Anyway, count on Klassy to give you a jumpstart on your thoughts... I was just googling Flatland by Edwin Abbot, and ended up back at her place with Gibran.

But at one point, you realize that you just have to let go, and give your heart and mind what they truly deserve. "
