Thirsty Fish Life's essence such a delicious drink But you gotta know where the tap is found. Ordinary darughts, in the realm of form, are superficial substitutes. At best they never last can leave a bitter taste in the mouth or neve quite hit the mark of expected fulfillment. The funny thing is, that the all-quenching tap, is ultimately you and me and all points inbetween. Striving to find this oacis, and you've journeyed into the desert. Alas, errant views and deep obstructions give rise to news of drought, parches the tongue of the soul. To recognize the ineherent fountain is for most an arduous task. Took me many years to take notice and still sometimes wander in illusory deserts and fooled by drought-consciousness, but in the words of our good friend Kabir, "It make me laugh, to hear of fish in the water thirsty!"
