Reminds me of an odd thought that crossed my mind as my father slipped away from us. Could dementia be enlightenment?
John
Sourced from another list and, I believe, attributed to Leonard Cohen:
"I'm thinking of becoming a Buddhist.
But you can't smoke, or drink, or take drugs, or go to wild parties, or have sex for pleasure.
Wait a minute...I already AM a Buddhust!"
Alternatively, it's what happens when you grow old...
