Hi Asher and Josh.r. ~ Everyones good ?
What I want to do and who’s interested ? Are there other Buddha Dharma students of The Empty Mind who are interested in jumping on this small dharma project, and save the bowl of porridge from spoiling… a collection of quotes and poetry that will eventually sooer or later take sumisssions , til then I’d like to send it up and present nt it as we’ve benn doin with you, Josh people like sjort simple, simplistc imune read able and funffun. I fully realize that everyone has their own Life as a dharma project, has school, has work, has love affairs with something or someone etc.. And very importantly: you and others are exploring a lot of new aspects of potential Seva-Service, and you are shaping new ground -- around from envisionary idea to the actuality of thing to thing - and may not be where you are when you were here, or there, or somewhere - in other words, you guys just may not be available.
So, that said, what do I want to invite to happen ?
Number One: is what Josh inadvertently started - an Anthology of many other people’s words that could be very inspiring and very online handy for people. And not for profit and almost anonymous. All editing or other participants would simply be listed as ‘editors’ - just first name and e-dress, and only if wished, at end of the footer. That’s it. No profiles, no claims, no promotions, nothing. I believe the words speak for themselves. Just serve the good food with a genuine smile.
There are a few books in paper on the book market now like this. Online there’s a plethora of Brainy Quotes type sites like that that I too used a lot. . I’m caring less about that venue -and more towards what Josh stepped into - especially since a lot of it is already online presented now in a fairly sterile form. .. It’s value: somehow I have no real question about that. And I do like some of the corny format display I created, but to scale it way down quite a bit as Josh did - a bit more, ya’ think..
I wonder HOW does Josh.r does multiple quote duplications to be merged - or something along that line of sorting ???. What I also really want is that this not take up a lot of time and effort beyond the technical for any of us - as we are not promoting it, just presenting it - not soliciting anything. The market is so over saturated with dharma information as it is. And we all have other fish to fry - and because of my PD, I personally am getting hurried along to die a bit prematurely - and so I’m out and about seeking my next rebirth incarnation candidates and locations for the Lamas to find Me again -- but that’s another story, so don’t get creeped out as I’m just kidding being that I’m into Nervous Stress-reducing Jokes lately.. so I’m slowly grinding thru my own blog site with Google as a form of memoir - which is in a really jumbled work-state right now - but got the configuration stuff workable on my own…. but I’d like to see this Anthology happen more also. It needs your good hand at the technical. How do you feel about this ? On board with it ? Tell me. Again, pardon me for my naïve blather and blah, blah, blah
What do I want to do and who’s interested ?...

What I’m sending along is sort of bizarre, and yet quite sane.. and meant to be even funny ! .. At some point early 2000-something, I was dosing my myself hugely on Buddha Dharma word composing ! I have many documents like this one - this is one of the best Big Ones with a Fellini-esque landscape of The Great Format God which has held together all these years -2001-2004… and is much too good to just trash. Embarrassingly amateurish, it still has a lot goodness in it to get a lot of it up into the site Josh.r. created.

Josh ~ Anyway here’s some Big Metta for you too .. this is a good way to make some Seva or ( Service } without getting up in each others lives - if you want to do it, the speed that you transposed that material and got it up and running really impressed me..
Please, would you take my profile / photo /
/ who I am / words about me etc and remove from site. Thanks…
What to replace with.. ? Put it in the footer way at the end.
Got feedback ?

NOTE: April 2016 .. What do I want to do and who’s interested
Hi Asher and Josh.r. ~ Everyone's good ? Everything's good ?
What do I want to do and who’s interested ? Empty Words are for people who are up for supporting this small, 'indefinitive flavored' dharma project, and save the bowl of my old porridge from spoiling... I got the content, I need some technitions. Strewn across the Infinite Endlessness of the World Wide Web are numerous experimental, abandoned blogs and well intentioned websites that created eclectic or themed collections of quotes and poetry. Those home-made sites grew, even took sumisssions, eventually maxed-out, to be left abandoned on the roadside of wise words with archaic post-dates in their footer -- yet in their silence they actually still exist --not unlike that sense of inperpetuity about the Taoist Immortals. Sites for you and I to borrrow great content to once again apprecitate, to once again display. I want to clean up or re-purpose my text. To me there is rarely such enjoyment as an illuminating string of great words.
So for now:
I fully realize that everyone has their own Life as an almost full time dharma project, with something or someone. without getting up in each others lives - and very most importantly: you and others are exploring a lot of new aspects of potential Seva-Service on behalf of the human condition -- and you may not be where you are when you were here, or there, or somewhere - in other words, you guys just may not be available.
So, that said, what do I want to invite to happen first ? Well, it's kinda' done. Number One: is what Josh inadvertently started - let me say - stepped into. An anthology of many other people’s words that could be very inspiring and very online-acessible for people. And not for profit and almost anonymous. Participants would simply be listed as 'contributors', and only if wished, at end of the footer. That’s it. No profiles, no prohets, no profits' no claims, no promotions, nothing. Just another resource site to for peeople's use. -- wirh a Buddhist bias, of course. I believe words speak for themselves.
And I do like some of the corny format display I created, but to scale it way down quite a bit as Josh did - a bit more, ya’ think. What I also really want is that this not take up a lot of time and effort beyond the technical for any of us - as we are not promoting it, just presenting it - not soliciting anything. The market is so over saturated with dharma information as it is. And because of my PD, I personally am getting hurried along to die a bit prematurely -- but that’s another story, so don’t get creeped out as I’m just kidding around being into stress-reducing Jokes lately.. so I’m slowly editing thru my own blog site as a form of memoir - which is in a jumbled work-state right now - but got the configuration stuff all workable on my own.
Josh, It needs again what you did in round one -- your good hand at the technical -- the speed that you transposed that material and got it up and running really impressed me.. Look at the material. How do you feel about this ? On board with it ?
