a bodhisattva can fly a thinker can sink a buddha can be happiness an existentialist can try to disprove it on a walk, a stroll on a path littered with questions, a man asks himself ‘why?’ on that walk, a woman answers ‘there is no ‘why?” while swimming, she drowns and asks ‘what is death?’ during that swim, a fish answers ‘there is no ‘death?” while sleeping, the fish asks ‘who am i?’ in that dream, i answer ‘there is no ‘i” while living, i ask ‘what is it to be happy?’ during that life, the sky answers ‘there is no ‘happiness” i said ‘thank you. thank you, sky. you are too kind’ i will breathe you up and know that there is nothing. i will be content. nothing.

existentialism is a slippery slope, but i’m on the plateau which is buddhism.
