I was thirsty. So I went and got some water. My glass was full. Translucent in my cup. So I drank. A cool feeling in my throat. Yet I did not feel my thirst quenched. I filled up my cup to try and let my thirsty feelings fly, far from by being. But no matter how much I drank, the liquid of life could not satisfy my being no matter how much I consumed. Huh... I tried a different cup... nothing. I tried to add ice... nothing. I tried to add sweet flavor... nothing. How could these things not satisfy my thirst? My friend walked by. Looked at me as my tongue was sticking out. He shook his head at me. "Your thirst was quenched the first time," He said. "You just thought you needed more." ****
