The
Horizon
As a
child, I was fascinated with the horizon.
I clearly remember my first encounter
with this mysterious moving edge.
The
Dancing Egg
Once,
the family of Mr. Time and Mrs. Space gave
birth to boy triplets. The one who was born
first was called Yesterday. The next one
born was called Today. And the last one born
was called Tomorrow.
The
Mouse And The Word
There
was a mouse who was hungry to Know. He
didn't know exactly what, but he was
determined. He thought the knowledge
he sought must be high up on the shelf
in the Big Book. So, he began to climb and
was met by many obstacles.
Madness
And Sanity On Broadway
The event
of 32 years ago that gave me the first
clue or sign of what America was all
about remains vivid in my mind today.
It was a first encounter that prepared
me for America's state of mind then as
well as now. I came to understand through
great effort the meaning of this event
only after much struggle.
The
Beginning
Once upon a time,
after a great cataclysm that almost obliterated
life on this planet, a small group of
peasants, who were very old, were the
only survivors of the global disaster.
They were struggling to survive by farming
the blighted earth. But the earth was
so damaged that their efforts to cultivate
a few food crops were in vain.
A
Fish Story
Once,
there was a fish who lived in the great
ocean, and be-cause the water was transparent,
and always conveniently out of the way
of his nose when he moved along, he didn't
know he was in the ocean.
The
Gazelle Of The Dawn
Near
a tree, in a green valley,
Beside a blooming hill.
Now -- before the sun -- on the horizon,
A silhouette appears:
A gazelle with bright eyes
Like the sun rising.
The
Great Puzzle
Have
you ever wondered why during the day
we are vertical, walking and active and
at night we are horizontal, asleep and
passive? I am always asking and probing
the very same obvious questions and that
which we take for granted.
