Waiting For Enlightenment

Post by **_Doctor Steuss** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 4:43 pm

Sunday afternoon, I decided to go to the park to do a bit of writing. While there, there was a gentleman sitting in the lotus position under a tree. I decided to approach him as he took a moment to stretch. He was a Buddhist and was (in his own words) “waiting for enlightenment.” I asked if I might join him, to which he readily accepted my request.

I sat under that tree (not in the same position as him, as I have bad knees) for about 45 minutes. Finally, my enlightenment came.

Mrs. Fields makes a fantastic ice-cream cookie sandwich.

I am grateful to that man for providing me the opportunity to realize that oft times in life, the simplicity of an ice-cream sandwich on a Sunday afternoon is of much greater import than toiling away in ancient Rabbinical texts.

Now I have passed my enlightenment to you. May you eat an ice-cream cookie sandwich and feel the heavenly joys associated with it.

I was inspired. I just took two cookies and some ice cream and made an ice cream sandwich.

I had a brilliant peanut butter and chocolate Cold Stone ice-cream cake for my birthday... fantastic stuff. I don't know why, but I've been on an ice-cream kick lately. Saturday, as I was helping two friends move gravel (from one of their houses to the other's house), I ended up chasing down an ice-cream truck for a "drumstick."

I love this weather, where ice-cream can be enjoyed in the afternoon, and a jacket put on in the evening. Soon, ice-cream will melt too fast, and jackets will be nothing more than an obsolete item taking up important closet space.
