I think of it as The Fool's Journey. I've been asked who the "fool" is. It's me, but in the classical sense of the court jester. Only the fool was allowed to tell the king of his follies.

A young seeker embarking on a life as a philosopher journeyed to the far reaches of the Himalyas for an audience with an elderly sage. "What," the seeker asked, "is life?" The sage closed his eyes before intoning, "Life is a fresh rose." "But," the seeker said, "in the Incas an ancient shaman told me life is a sharp knife." That," the sage answered, "is his life."

hahaha funny cartoon... just love it! :-D
Too true the commentary as well. Funny coincidences abound lately. I'm reading The Baglady's Guide to Elegant Living - a beautiful little story about living the life you love (or perhaps more realistically) loving the life you live. John... your cartoon and commentary paints it perfectly!

Gremlins operating here. I swear I only posted once... but then I guess if it's worth saying once...
Sorry folks ;-)
You got for it, Jean. Worth saying it twice or more.
Great cartoon, John C.
A Classic!
Jean you're welcome to say it as many times as you like! [grin] Thanks, all.
