There are people who live in their own enchanted little world. Made up of dull, easy rhythms, relaxing paces. With calm souls. Unbothered. They’re driving the car in front of me.

I've always enjoyed reading this. If you changed "Jewish" to "Italian" it would still work.
A joyous and blessed Passover.
Sayings of the Jewish Buddha
If there is no self, whose arthritis is this?
Be here now. Be someplace else later. Is that so complicated?
Drink tea and nourish life; with the first sip, joy; with the second sip, satisfaction; with the third sip, peace; with the fourth, a Danish.
Wherever you go, there you are. Your luggage is another story.
Accept misfortune as a blessing. Do not wish for perfect health, or a life without problems. What would you talk about?
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single Oy.
There is no escaping karma. In a previous life, you never called, you never wrote, you never visited. And whose fault was that?
Zen is not easy. It takes effort to attain nothingness. And then what do you have? Bupkis.
The Tao does not speak. The Tao does not blame. The Tao does not take sides. The Tao has no expectations. The Tao demands nothing of others. The Tao is not Jewish.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Forget this and attaining Enlightenment will be the least of your problems.
Let your mind be as a floating cloud. Let your stillness be as a wooded glen. And sit up straight. You'll never meet the Buddha with such rounded shoulders.
Deep inside you are ten thousand flowers. Each flower blossoms ten thousand times. Each blossom has ten thousand petals. You might want to see a specialist.
Be aware of your body. Be aware of your perceptions. Keep in mind that not every physical sensation is a symptom of a terminal illness.

BuJews is the term. My Italian American friend who married a Jewish guy always said Italians and Jews are the same people...the guilt, the nagging, the grandmas.

The fact Keith Richards has outlived Richard Simmons really makes me question the eating healthy and exercise thing.

I guess all the stuff Richards ingested and smoked acted as a preservative.

A seasonal joke. (I thought meeting in a hangar at Myrtle Beach AFB was unique...)
