I recall how his female friend collected stones as she walked along the beach. She collected mostly white stones and put them in a jar with one black stone and gave it to Jack. Colors all have symbolism and so do gestures of gifts. Some people associate black with anger and fear and white with peace, rest and reflection. In transcendental Buddhist thinking, white is often seen to transform the delusion of ignorance into the wisdom of reality talk of stones reminds me of the film, “Something’s Gotta Give” with Jack Nicholson.

It's nice to know that. If you would like to check out some form of art that Dharma is coming out of me through, check out http://flickr.com/photos/wadem/sets/72157607070033296/. I'm still planning on writing more here. I'm engaged living the Dharma more so than reflecting upon it at the moment. My practice is active and fruitful. May all beings be happy. May all beings be peaceful. May all beings be blessed by the Dharma. Gassho, Wade Thank you Terry. It’s nice to know that.
