No-brainer.
A continuing series is hatched.
The only thing I know about Zen is that great book Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance!
Petrea, you've uncovered the ancient local legend of "Zen Rock", believed to be an ancient locality, always shadowed by that larger cousin, "Eagle Rock".
You are AMAZING to have discovered this!!! You're going to be riiiiich! Uber riiiiich!
Well, ok, maybe only in our minds...
Paper and Scissors lived in a bad neighborhood, where they were always threatened by members of the Rock Gang. They hid inside of their little cubby holes, afraid of being squashed by Rock. One day they met and discussed their woes, and came up with a plan to defeat the Rock gang at their own game. They knew it could be dangerous, but reams of paper and drawers-ful of scissors depended on their bravery.
They waited patiently, until one day one of the rocks was basking in the sun, oblivious to his surroundings. Carefully, Scissors and Paper climbed to the top of Rock 1, where they lay, patiently awaiting the arrival of Rock 2.
The sun was hot, almost singeing the edges of Paper, warping the blades of Scissors, but they did not move. Eventually, they could hear the heavy "ka-thump" of Rock 2's approach. "Ka-thump, ka-thump." They held each other tight because suddenly all became silent, all they could hear was the sound of rushing air.
Paper and Scissors opened their eyes to see that the bright sun had been blocked out by the shadow of Rock 2, as it hurtled from above for the kill! "Wait, wait!" yelled Scissors. Then at the very last second the two rolled off Rock 1, the concussion from the fall splitting the air above them.
Paper drifted to the ground, as if on a breeze; Scissors landed akimbo, gradually pulling his blades back together. Each took a look at the Rocks, broken and turned to gravel then, as they returned to their cubby holes, they could be heard to say -
"Well, they won't be pushing Paper around anymore," Scissors said.
"Yeah, and your plan was shear genius," replied Paper."
Did you break off a little more, to check if it says "ZEN" all the way through?
A gooey center protected by a hard candy shell. Melts in your mouth, not in your hand.
Dive, ha ha, you rock. I wonder if Americans know about our english seaside rock (candy) with lettering all the way through?
As some graffiti on one of the rocks has already been painted out, I surmise this is a gang tag. The Zen gang of Pasadena - they ask a lot of questions and never understand the answers.
Did you take this photo on a Monday??
Such fun comments by everyone!
Zen rock garden.
Thanks for posting info about the Haha meeting tomorrow. Every time I think of City Council's foolishness my blood boils. I will try to be Zen about it.
Looks like the Hiker knows about the British candy. I didn't. It sounds good, though. I mean, it's candy, what could be bad?
I wish Trish were right.
Or Speedway.
But it's probably Bellis. Probably a gang tag. In which case I shouldn't have posted it. But what an idiot--no idea what Zen means.
Not that Zen Monday is all that much in line with Zen tradition.
Some idiot took a can of spray paint and defiled the natural environment. It's graffiti plain and simple, no matter what the word is. OK, no more cocktails for me tonight!
I was hoping someone would say that. Give Ann another cocktail.
Interesting sandstone-looking rocks, not the usual kind in our local area - where we you?
Best thing since sliced bread. But I wonder who or what sliced your rock loaf.
Dina, my guess is nature sliced the rock. But whoever wrote on it is unnatural.
Bellis, I believe this is alongside the path north of the JPL Campus, just beyond the first bridge with the funny old "Versailles" railing. If you're walking north, look to your left.
"zen" How Hahamongna will feel when we drop that big boy on a specific group of city council members
The zen person finds the space between a rock and a hard place.
