THE SMILE OF SMILES (November 19, 2019)
For amusement past compare, imagine all the humans around you both naked and barefoot just like our primate forebears. If they are sitting nearby, imagine their drooping breasts and bellies, their hairy chests and backs, their bulging thighs and buttocks, as well as their tangled toes. And if they are walking, imagine their wobbling blubber and their uneasy tread. Deprived of shoes, they can barely walk without cringing and swaying. If it is also chilly, imagine them shaking and shivering as they are embracing themselves for warmth. Relishing the splendid sight, let your mouth shape into a wholesome smile. The smile of smiles, to be exact. Three cheers for amusement at its hallowed height!
To Gautama Siddharta
