The legit ones don’t begin with, “Material possessions mean nothing, so sign them over to me.” Although one psychogogue (spiritual guide – basically the same as guru, except my dissertation advisor told me to use psychogogue and not guru in the thesis) advised selling everything and giving the money to the poor.
Remember, “Football Time” for men is the same as “Shopping Time” for women.
The last “5 Minutes” of an N.F.L. Game is equal to the “Just 5 Minutes” that some women will spend picking up “just a few things” at the grocery store!
Went to one of those “Chinese Acrobats” shows once. The person with me was very impressed, thought that Americans just couldn’t do those sort of things. The truth is that we can, we just frequently make other choices. Gurus are just people who have made different choices in life, they can do anything you can do just as much as you can do anything they can do.
The tradition of the guru/mentor usually doesn’t involve a lot of waiting around. A good guru/mentor finds way to keep a seeker “training” by performing chores, shopping, quests, and agriculture.
Totally off topic but still relevant. “Every moment is a gift”… to accept & share with grit, grace, & gratitude! Easier said than done.. but worth the effort since ‘gift moments’ can be seconds away from the end of life to an unknown new beginning.
“The Dalai Lama spoke at Gillette Stadium on Saturday. On the same day that a storm knocked down the Cowboys’ indoor practice facility, prompting fears by Dallas fans that the event is a harbinger of doom, some Patriots fans think that the Dalai Lama’s decision to don a Pats hat is a sign that the franchise’s four-year championship drought might be coming to an end.”
(For the record, the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl that season.)

Of course time is relative. Everyone knows that an hour-long football game lasts for a loooong time.

After all these years you’d think those gurus would get a promotion. But it looks like they are still drinking Bud.

Well, if he does it right, the pilgrim will get a nap out of it and the guru may win a fiver if he bets on the Patriots.

As a Patriots fan, reality will be a defeat for the underpowered Patriots. Fantasy is a win today by the Patriots.

As I read the strip, it’s mid-way through the 2nd with NE leading 14-10. I don’t like either team, but I hate the Pats a little less.

Want the Pats to win and Belichek to lose. How’s that for conflict

Does Wiley reside in either the Patriots home area or that of the Cowboys?

A lot of folks jump to that foolish conclusion simply because Time has no substance in and of itself.
What they are missing is that it’s essential to the framework that allows us to move and change.
