(Man, I'm terrible with riddles, to be frank. But I sure asked for it)
What then is this confounded red and green from two meters under?
it´s the little red and green stone eater =)
ok that was a bad one, but this one is better.
This riddle works better irl, but I will give it a try:
if you dig a wide hole from where you are, and all the way to the other side of earth right through the center of earth.
You take a tiny rock and drop in to the hole. How far dose the rock go?
Thanks for playing =)

oh, I´m not as cynical as I might have sounded in my introduction. They were just a few thoughts from my past. and thoughts can never truly touch reality. The only thing I really take seriously is the Now. Everything else is art and fiction. This reminded me of something from

The Now is a place of not knowing
The Now is what you are experiencing right now, in the present moment. Thoughts are probably part of what you are experiencing, but thoughts and the feelings that arise from thoughts are only part of the Now. Much more is going on in real life. The experience of the moment feels more real and is more real than thought, which is simply thinking about experience. Thoughts about something lack the juiciness and aliveness of pure experience. They take us into a virtual reality, so to speak, and out of reality.
That wouldn't be a problem if that virtual reality didn't belong to the ego and if being involved in it didn't take us away from the experience of our true nature and its qualities: love, compassion, peace, joy, acceptance, clarity, contentment, and wisdom. The trade-off for being in the ego's virtual reality is pretty dear. We lose touch not only with the peace and contentment of our true self, but also with the flow, with where the present moment, this life, is going.
What we really are, Essence, is moving our life in a particular direction, and when we are in the Now, we naturally move in that direction. However, when we are involved in the egoic mind's virtual reality, we go where the ego takes us. That's often out of the flow because the ego drives us with its desires, and its desires and priorities are often at odds with Essence. We follow the ego's thoughts, plans, feelings, fears, and desires because we are programmed to do that, but it's time now for many to see through that programming and make a different choice.
What makes the choice of being in the moment difficult is that we have to surrender our need to know. The ego gives us a false sense of knowing, which is comforting, even though the ego doesn't really know where life is going or what will happen next. So all we really have to surrender is the pretense of knowing, not actual knowing.
