All my life I’ve been on the edge,
a bit on edge, afraid to slip into the
mainstream. I mainlined Buddhism,
which is like allowing space to seep
into your veins….no tools required.
My teacher had this analogy of
licking honey from a razor blade,
reminds me of Colonel Kurtz in
“Apocalypse Now” describing
watching a snail crawl across a
straight razor. My grandpa was
a barber in Chicago….had a few
straight razor jokes…he told me
one. It wasn’t funny.
Here's the joke. A barber in the trenches during the first world war...a German soldier jumps in the trench..the barber takes a swipe at him ...the German soldier says "You missed me!" the
ReplyDeletebarber says "Just wiggle your head."
