Not being able to go for a walk,
due to bad weather,
makes me difficult
and stubborn.
.
Being stubborn
is a problem of
an attached mind.
.
My neighbour’s donkey
roams around in a meadow,
mine grazes in the middle of my head.

Because I have a donkey in my head, am trying once more to send you the donkey 1 min. video then will give up. Here it is:
Now it works – very funny, really hope he does not bite. Besides that donkey in the head, is it yours or mine? Or are there two donkeys now? 🙂
Haha people here are right, that donkey is just so cute 🙂 Well they probably have their reasons behind a decision of moving ahead or stopping for a chill ))
they think, that’s why we call them stubborn, but in fact, they show profound intelligence.
Bert, I like the way you express the stubborness 😀
thank you. i wish I wouldn’t have to express it so often …
How about you ride the donkey in your mind 😉
It doesn’t want to move. 🙂
stubborn thing! lol shall i use my foot?
Excuse me for being rude and inserting a comment between you two, but that image of riding the donkey in the head made me giggle and smile!
You’re not rude at least where I’m concerned. At risk of sounding arrogant it made me laugh too 😉
It comes close to riding the bull/ox in Zen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Bulls)
or riding the elephant in Tibetan Buddhist Shamata meditation (https://whoisbert.wordpress.com/shamata-meditation/)
I haven’t found donkeys to be as stubborn as some goats are but I do know what you mean. 😉 I stubbornly cling to my preference for sunshine.
The most stubborn animal to my knowledge must be a chicken. Teaching them anything is such a disaster. Keeping them within their territory and away from the neighbour’s lettuce.
Sunshine, … where art thou 🙂
I think humans are the most stubborn animal, at least in my experience.
Probably 😉
Smiles!
Love the donkey. We have one nearby, too. Do you pet him? I have been afraid. We, too, are cooped up due to rain and cold. But sort of cozy. Finally went out in the rain and wind to install some plants and take photos. Stubborn, too!
This one is a crazy donkey. I think he would bite. He never comes closer than one meter. Weather is unavoidable. Strange that we are so attached to our expectations of good and bad weather. So you have a donkey in your head too 🙂 ?
The walks you take through the stubbornness of your mind is good exercise. I appreciate the creativity discovered amidst the stubbornness.
It’s not a good feeling – but at least these days I seem to be able to discern what this or that feeling really means. Something nobody ever taught me when a child.
O! the lessons we were taught as children and even now continue to resist learning. We’ve learned much, though, despite our wondering if the lessons were wrong.
I appreciate self study, discovering the brilliance within by way of searching for the wisdom without, and then choosing to learn what best serves me and our world.
self studying the study of self … in an empirical way … yes
Congratulations on your progress in self discovery. A joy to read, too. Love the use of the donkey!
Love the donkeys GOD bless you!
thank you 🙂
