Today and Tomorrow
June 7th, 2006 Posted in ArchiveI read something today. I wish I knew the address of the page so I could give the person propper credit but I can not find it anywhere. That being said I do not have the link and will paraphrase it for you.
A traveller was walking through the forest and came across a ferrocious bear. The traveller ran from the bear in the only direction that he could and ends up at the edge of a cliff. Petrified of the bear the man’s only chance is to climb down the cliff on a vine. The traveller begins his descent down the vine and sees at the bottom that there is a lion, waiting to devour him. To make matters worse, there are two rats, a white one and a black one, gnawing at the vine the traveller is on. The traveller is confused and does not know whether to climb back up to where he was and face the bear or to climb down the rope and meet his demise as the rats gnawing on the rope will surely kill him. At his moment of despair, the traveller catches a glimpse of something red in the corner of his eye. He looks and sees a strawberry plant with a red strawberry. Reaching out he grabs that strawberry and tates its delicousness, being completely lost in the moment.
