Play dough self

Once upon a time there was a piece of play-dough that went nuts because it wanted to be its authentic self and it had none.

For the time being, it was looking like a giraffe with a knot in its neck. The feeling was horrible.

"Poor bit of nothing special" said a bright yellow Buddha with pink eyes, "the authentic self is but an illusion!"

A hand grasped the Buddha and turned it into a laughing cow. The giraffe with a knot in its neck had an epilepsy crisis which paradoxically untangled it.

Dear bits and pieces or nothing special, you will live happily ever after anyway.

 

Invisible bridge over the river

Many different people have many different truths, and that's alright...

Now, if my truth is that there is a bridge over the river when in fact there is none, I am at risk of getting wet. 

If I invite other people to walk with me on the bridge that doesn't exist, this could be worrying for those who don't see any bridge over the river. They will wonder....Can they all swim? Leave my children alone! 

They will tell me that I am wrong to talk about a bridge that doesn't exist to gullible people and I will feel upset about it.

But that's my truth! That's my right to share my truth! There is a bridge over the river! Cross it now. Don't let the mind and its fears hold you back.

Don't you see me walking on it?
