Past, Present, Future

May 1st 2008 16:19
Strawberry
Buddha once told a parable: A man encountered a tiger in the wilderness...
He ran to a cliff and with both hands grabbed hold of an overhanging vine while the tiger growled menacingly below with its jaws wide open.
Two mice, once white and one black, began to gnaw away at the vine.
Suddenly, he saw a luscious strawberry near him.
He plucked the strawberry and popped it into his mouth...
"Such an exquisite taste!!"



----
Not to think about the past and the future, but to cherish one moment after another is real fortune.
