No attachments. You are not using E-mail.
USENET is read with News readers. Not e-mail.
Not all newsreaders have the ability to do
Binary attachments, so sending attachments to
a text only newsgroup like this one is a
no no.

One movie that shows a lot of dao principles is, "Unforgiven",
starring Clint Eastwood and Gene Hackman.

It is not a good idea to attach to newsgroup posts, or open any attachments
in found in newsgroups. If you do have some art to post, I will be glad to
host what I can on my page at

Crumb has a really cool take on the whole sage thing which he refers to as
Mr. Natural. I posted an example here a while ago under my old nickname
innocent bystander.

i love you, keynes :) i'm so glad i'm not the only one who sees this as a
taoist text :)
also don't forget to mention the pooh books, obviously... hoff be damned if
that's your choosing. and also the "harold and the purple crayon" books are
delightfully taoist, imo... also include "catcher in the rye" by jd salinger
and "the neverending story" by michael ente.

LT,
I still like the film "September Sessions" by Jack Johnson.
It speaks (without speaking) of Wei Wu Wei.

Did you ever see the documentary on the Crumb family? If not, try to
catch it. Crumb and his family are/were some of the most bizarre
individuals ever. Does that mean he, or they, wasn't/weren't (a)
sage(s)? I wonder...

I enjoyed the Tao Of Pooh (and the Te of Piglet, although friends didn't
seem to get on with it so well).
But I've just realised that the original Pooh books seem to me to been much
"louder" than the TOP - simply because they aren't talking about it.
Pooh just *is*.
[And reading down the unread posts a bit I see this thought is nothing new -
but I'm not one to waste a whole 5mins of typing. Not here. Not now.]

I was born near the sea, and never really noticed it. Now I live inland,
when I go home I make a point of seaing the see whenever I can. And it never
fails to awe. So much energy, and complexity and relentlessness. And even
when I'm not looking (presumably) it just goes on and on and on doing its
thing, 24/7/365andabit/forages.
Nearly 1000 posts on apt after a few weeks away.
Come on in; the water's lovely.

I took a polariod of my Heineken. This pushed it to its extreme, and helped it
to overcome its avoidance of the truth, that it was just a thing.

Indeed. I really felt sorry for his brothers. It seems that Robert is more
put together than they ever were (maybe his comics and drawings have been a
therapeutical output. The old artist cliché you know...)

Why?

nature has hidden art in it,
random but familiar images in metal,
wood, tiles, stains, etc.
i wonder if with a digital camera
and some photo editing software
could one 'steal' art from nature?

Why wonder?

Yes. How did start thinking about them being/not being a "sage"?
lisa
Well... I agree with the saying that you write what you know, so I'm
guessing Robert based his Mr. Natural on attributes he picked up from
his surroundings, maybe even self-attributes. I also know that, at
least based on the documentary, that his family were pretty
isolationist/anti-social, so if Robert wasn't drawing his attributes
from himself, he possibly drew them from attributes he perceived in
his family members, since he wasn't out there interacting with folks
outside of his family and maybe a few close friends.
I hope that answers the question you asked. Maybe you wanted to know
something else? If so, let me know.
rgds,
lisa

You mean you think that Crumb based the Mr. Natural character on himself,
and/or his closest surroundings? Could you elaborate on that for me?
lisa
Perhaps Crumb saw Mr. Natural as an idealized version of who he wanted
to be? Or how he saw his family members? Only Crumb knows for sure.

I wonder the same for LaoZi and Zhuagzi with the "sage".
