[Lobster chooses a suitable rock
place his claws behind, his whiskers
waving freely as seaweed]
Once upon a time a Lobster (Yes it's me folks :-)
entered the Abode of the Uncoiling (That is Here Gentle Reader)
Well the Lobster was inspired
by the kindness and compassion that existed
all around.
'How can I an unworthy and lowly crustacean
overcome my base nature and live up to my possibilities,'
thought the Lobster.
Luckily an accomplished Mystr of the Arts
of SolOmen (who just happened to be passing -
ain't it the Way Dear Reader) was
able to advise our many footed friend.
"Make skillful use of what you have!" advised the
Mystr who had turned themself into an Octopus
in order to be acceptable and understandable.
"Please explain," enquired the Lobster.
"Give up giving," advised the Octopus.
"WAT?? Give up giving? What kind of heretical advice is this?"
spluttered the angry Lobster
beginning to turn red (even though uncooked).
"Most giving," explained the Octopus, "is a form of trading,
giving presents so that we get presents.
When you give it should be like
strewing flowers on the path of The Beloved and then leaving."
"I know! I know!" squealed Lobster
in half memory of some new age snippet,
"Create random acts of Beauty and Senseless Kindness . . .
- is it something like that?"
"Exactly,' said the Octopus, "To do things for reward
is not real kindness and giving.
Kindness is it's own reward."
The Lobster was still waving his tale in triumph
at knowing something. The Octopus continued,
"If we stand around awaiting payment - we
are taking . . ."
"So we have to also give up the act of giving
as part of the kindness - is that right?" enquired Lobster
returning back to a more natural deep blue and running his
whiskers through his claws in a wise and knowing way.
"Exactly so!" the Octopus smiled and waved a happy tentacle.
The Lobster beamed.
Perhaps he might always be
an impatient, argumentative and angry claw wielder
- but he could always be more kind
and giving . . .
