A really drunk guy at a party walks up to the host and asks, âDo you have some green toilet paper that says, âFuck youâ?â
The host, stunned, answers, âOf course I donât have any green toilet paper that says, âFuck you.ââ
âOh, no!â the drunk cries. âIâm really sorryâ¦I think I just wiped my ass with your parrot.â

I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.
