Hi David,
I saw this before and meant to comment on it, but got distracted. Thanks for sharing it again.
A very nice parable indeed. And though not specifically a Christian writing, it is consistent with many things I am familiar with--in oarticular, the triumph over Death by Life.
A few years ago I wrote a poem simply called "Hope" in the wake of the Katrina disaster. I won't reproduce it here, except for the first lines,
"Hope is not a loose thread dangling in the wind. Rather a strand strengthened with the bands of faith and the strings of the heart."
Of course, there is allusion to some scriptures, but these are universally applicable to all caring people, cultures, faiths.
For example, when these words from Saint Paul,
"And now abides faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
--1 Corinthians 13:13
are combined with the wisdom of King Solomon,
"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falls; for he doesn't have another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat, but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken."
--Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12
it is easy to see how your parable is proverbial.
Thanks,
John
P.S. As an aside, with the bitter cold many of us have been experiencing lately, the Ecclesiastes verses also remind me of "a three dog night," not the artist, but the principle behind that idiom.

I thoroughly enjoyed the little tour I took. Didn't take it all in yet, but plan too. I saw the beautiful photos in the slideshow (the first) with the wonderful flute, which I at first thought might be R. Carlos Nakai.
I enjoyed listening to Thoughts and hearing, I'm supposing you are Scruffy?
After watching the slideshow and hearing the wonderful music I couldn't believe I had not paid admission. Thank you

http://webpages.charter.net/jdaley05/untitled.html Castaneda talks about separate realities. The reality that we have been conditioned in is so unreal that it makes one cringe to think that he once accepted it. We cannot see beyond our backyard fences. Beyond my backyard fence reality flows through the farmland all the way to the Pacific some seventy miles west as the crow flies. When we understand that reality does not end at our backyard fence we are already in a different reality. The ego shrinks to its true insignificance when we see the vast spread of the world beyond our limited vision. And, seeing is not that hard to do once we realize that we don’t normally see.
Where does reality begin for you?

allmiles@comcast.net Hi David!
Nice poems to share - I really like the PB&J analogy - there are alot of those kind of sandwiches in our lives these days.
They just re-dedicated the Robert Louis Stevenson house in Monterey State Historic Park - being around a bunch of very dedicated state park volunteers who are passionate about "their" park always makes me think of Torrey Pines and all those wonderful folks in TPA and TPDS...
Just got the new TPA Journal - very nice publication - I'm proud of all of you!
The Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance was last week and I thought of you and your fine ride and think you and your warthog buddy ought to make it up this way sometime (be careful around Big Sur tho - they have a bounty out for wild pigs!)
Take good care - I miss you.

http://www.ambrosepollock.com Seems like a logical progression Spock. Where does it take us in terms of National Security? It seems like a fertile ground for amplification of everything that is good and bad about the media as it exists today. Man has become very much like a machine and continues to prompt the development of more machinery to help process everything as it relates to the convenience of living. What about the convenience of learning? Time goes fast learning goes so slow. What wisdom can be gleaned from a machine? When one drives a car well, there is a sense of satisfaction and glee in the sense of almost effortless deliverance of one's body from one distant place to another. Yet when one crashes into a tree, say at sixty miles per hour, the sceneraio changes due to the intervention of natural laws. What natural laws govern the unbridled transmission of information occuring at hte speed of light in a world that contains beings that cannot decipher simple algebraic equations due to the lack of propoer education? Can we go forward and backward at the same time? Will the History of Media come to a close in 2014?

Howdy Bro,
"Summer of the Milksnake" by Ramon Collins is so good. Talk about quality writing. He readily drew me in to his world, leaving me with much to ponder and with the very satisfied feeling of "Now THAT'S good writing!"
http://www.dcoyote.com/ramoncollins2.htm
It's the attention to detail, to real dialogue, to the little, but very "telling" gestures, and to the simple things Ray describes so accurately that make his stories so real, so visual...that I can really "see" them. I'm there.
Good stuff.
Now...quit making me put such good stuff up at the den...I have work to do. ;)
Love ya, Shirley

Most hands can scratch words in the sand with a stick; even mine. But some differ. Those hands (er...paws), when they write, are held, not by the arms attached, but by deity's own. Such were the rascally coyote's when he wrote 'No Children's Game', 'Roomful of Rainbows', and others.

I never did get to the story you mentioned in your office, but I got lost in photos and haiku and everywhere. I need to return here many many times.

http://www.nutheadproductions.com Howdy Bro,
Just reading some of your older poems - they were feeling lonely - and what can I say? You're a coyote of amazing talent.
"Her" is simply beautiful. The last line "angels sing before she dies" has stayed with me since the first time I read it many moons ago.
"Sleep" is thought-filled. Thoughts I'm not willing to think about yet, but so beautifully written. The way you personify "sleep", making it a female entity, is very cool.
"Corner Boy" is sad, but reality based. I like the repetition of the lines "passing cars / he'd never own" and the final line "going nowhere" says much, sadly. There are loads of word combinations I love in this one. I can't name them all here, but this one "boy in a river
of flowing machinery" and this one "perfume of wealth" and all of stanza 5 are perfect. You have such a unique perspective in the ways of the world and an amazing gift of putting those perspectives into fine lines of poetry at its purist.
"Speak To Me" has been one of my favorites of yours since the first time I read it. It still brings a lump into my throat, and prickles down my spine when I read it. Hauntingly beautiful. "Be The Blue Sky This Time At Midnight" has the same effect on me.
I'll go now and continue reading. Thank you for being you.
Love & Hugs always, Shirley

johnlongfield@sympatico.ca I enjoyed 'Lightheaded' very much. I could easily imagine myself travelling on that bus with the darkened windows and the rivers of lights passing by.
The longest bus trip I have ever taken was between Toronto and Hamilton Ontario, a distance of about 45 miles, back when I was in 10th grade. It was during the war and I remember that there was a soldier travelling on the bus who started talking to me. He told me that he was broke and needed money to get back to his army base. I hope that the small amount of money I was able to give him helped him get back to base. I've often wondered if he returned from the war alive.

http://embark.to/WorldLightWorkerDirectory Brother Coyote- I've not visited your site in some time and wondering what you have been up to with your quilled delights I came to snoop.
I was drawn to Warty LaHoof's escapades and gladly so for I've had a smile on my face and in my heart throughout his marvelous journey. He definitely emulates coyote and under that warty skin I know there is coyote kin. As Monsieur LaHoof seems to be of Cajun background I thought I would share a bit of trivia re the Cajun clan. They are direct descendants (or perhaps ascendants) of the Acadians who departed from our wondrous land of Canada and the pronounciation is A-kay-jee-ans, something like how we say Can-eh-jians-- and French stock. From the Acadians we get a contraction of the name to Cajuns. Hence, The Venerable Warty LaHog, oops LaHoof is a Canadian. Being a Canadian this makes me proud for he is a lovable, likeable character, and I look forward to Chapter 12 and wonder if La Wart will speak, in his great wisdom of the changes happening in our world.
For those wondering why davidcoyote seems to be talking to himself, this is not the esteemed author of LaWart but another davidcoyote who distinguishes himself from David Coyote by writing his name in one word rather than two..... In case one were to get the idea that David Coyote not only talks to himself but writes emails and posts in his Dream Book to himself.
It has been an enjoyable visit with Warty and your wit and humour dear brother. To you and Warty and all your readers I bid "Hasta La Vista" which should keep Warty wondering what that means unless you've been down Mexico way and he picked up a little spanish. Next he'll be wanting a cape and all the Matador fittings and he could be the bull if you had transplants done with whatever you call those things sticking out of his nose. (:o)) So without further ado. Adieu Davidcoyote

"Ohhhhhh." she said. She was suitably impressed.
You have such an intriguing face, and style, did you know?

Hi Brother-- Glad to see you have pen in hand once again. I enjoyed
reading "What Button fits the hole". All is well here and figure you
must be doing well since the operation. Here's my latest. -- thought
you might like to read it. David -the other Coyote
(please read slowly and emphatically and feel the rhythmn of the
waves)
~oOo~ The Littlest Wave ~oOo~
*************************
Gracefully, the ocean swells,
a little wave comes into form.
Knowingly, she curls and flips,
to dance in the sun, so warm.
A seabird floats upon her crest,
and caresses her with glee,
As she sings and bubbles and curtsies,
On the grand and mighty sea.
She knows not where she comes from,
nor where she's heading for.
But with a billowed swell of ocean tide,
she catches a glimpse of shore.
"Oh no"!, she cries, "I shall be dashed to bits",
(and she felt like she had no home).
As the waves up ahead pounded the rocks,
and turned into flatness and foam.
An old one from behind, with voice strong and so calm-
said, "No need to be afraid !
Dance in the now, with the sun shining through you,
Life is for limitless play.
Dolphins will sing, birds rest their wings,
feeling your joy they'll come from afar.
And when shore time draws near, let go of all fear,
For the ocean is what you are"!

Hi David
What memories Harry Cotter's saga brings back. Four children in a 1966 Chrysler New Yorker. To the east coast with stopping places in state and provincial parks.
Climbing Bear Mountain in the Adirondaks where you had to sign in the Ranger's book giving thr date and time you set out up the hill. On one occasion, I added my comment, a paraphrase of one of Horace' Odes; 'Dulce et Decorum est pro Natura Mori'.
Then, to Port Kent NY to get the ferry across Lake Champlain, an hour at its widest point, to Burlington Vermont. With all the waiting cars lined up for the ferry as it was coming into view. My older son's worried reminders to get to our car and get it started so we wouldn't hold things up, even though there were about thirty cars ahead of us. Chryslers of that era had starting motors which turned the engine over slowly rather than with the fast zip of Fords and Buicks.
Thanks for the memories that I wouldn't trade for anything, including a pillow put in the right read window and anchored there with the raised window. Except the motor mechanism was too strong to be stopped by the pillow and so the arms and levers inside the door got bent out of shape and the mechanism had to be locked off at the driver's door.
