"When you want to build something new start like the oaktree with something small like an acorn and let it grow over time to an majestic Oaktree."

Just do it

Hi.

One evening by the fire Monkey spoke to the animals:

”Its funny how people use the word ”just”. 
We are just animals, its just a cat, its just something simple i cooked up.
How about if we started saying things like you are just everything, you are just the entire universe and you are just right?”

Nonaction in action

Hi.

One evening by the fire Monkey spoke to the animals:

”A good example of nonaction in action is when the snow falls on the leaf hanging in the tree.
The leaf does not resist and when the snow becomes to heavy on it, it just gives away and lets the snow fall off.”

Question everything

Hi.

One evening by the fire Monkey spoke to the animals:

” As you sit down and step into the silence it is an good opportunity to think about the question ”What am i doing here and why?” 

In a sense a good opportunity to question everything.”
