These Darn Socks

These are my favorite socks. They're very soft and black. And you can't tell if they're inside out or not, they're all-side-out or in. Like so many socks I have, my toes have come through. Supposedly un-sight-full. Do people mend, or darn their socks anymore? These are perfectly great socks, even with the holes!

Cathy says she ain't gonna do it!
That's it, I'm gonna do it.
I'll report back!
A couple of quotes from the kitchen:
Do not overlook one drop in the ocean of virtue.
Cultivate a spirit which strives to increase the source of goodness upon the mountain of goodness.

One, Seven, Three, Five -
The truth you search for cannot be grasped.
As night advances, a bright moon illuminates the whole ocean.
The dragon's jewels are found in every wave.
Looking for the moon, it is here, in this wave, in the next.

Knowing that conscious decisions and personal memory
are much too small a place to live,
Every human being streams at night into the loving nowhere,
or during the day, into some absorbing work.

No better love than love with no object,
no more satisfying work than work with no purpose.
If you could give up tricks and cleverness,
that would be the cleverest trick!

Keep walking, though there's no place to get to.
Don't try to see through the distances.
That's not for human beings. Move within,
but don't move the way fear makes you move.

I am so small I can barely be seen.
How can this great love be inside me?
Look at your eyes. They are small,
but they see enormous things.
