“There are not too many fables about man's misuse of sunflower seeds.”

“…we’re all beautiful golden sunflowers inside, we’re all blessed by our own seed & golden hairy naked accomplishment(Sunflower Sutra)”

“A wise man once remarked that we can count how many seeds are in the apple, but not how many apples are in the seed.”

“I could end this with a moral,as if this were a fable about animals,though no fables are really about animals.”

“Fable: When we're stuck in troubled feelings we believe that all our feelings are true-- that is to say, we believe that by our emotions at that moment we are making accurate judgments about what's happening. If I'm angry with you, I'm certain that you are making me angry.Fact: Though we truly have these feelings, they are not necessarily true feelings. More likely I'm angry because I'm misusing you, not because you are misusing me.”
