The Tao of Questy is about love and laughter and being human. It's about sharing ideas and being a little bit crazy in order to stay sane.
To quote a famous fellow philosopher, Voltaire, "I laugh to keep myself from going mad."
The core websites of Guru 42 are to be a place to reflect on the world around us, and without taking the stand of any one philosophy, to step back and try to understand a little behind the logic, or in many cases the lack of logic of the events of the day. As part of the Guru 42 universe, the Tao of Questy is the slightly off center corner of the Universe.
Although this site is called the Tao of Questy, it's not necessarily about Taoism, or any specific philosophy for that matter If you'd like to laugh a little, learn a little, and are open minded enough to stretch your mind a little, then join me for the journey I call the Tao of Questy.
Every year around the Christmas holidays the question comes up, "What is a sugar plum?"
The simple response would be a small fruit confection rolled in sugar. While there are actual fruits known as sugar plums, most references to sugar plums are relating to various types of candied fruits.
The basic concept of the sugar plum is preserving fruits with sugar allowing them to be enjoyed all year round, much like canning vegetables, or salting meats is used to preserve foods for year round consumption.
I am flattered by how many times this poem, Believe in Santa Claus, has been stolen and re-posted over the years, I guess that is a commentary to its meaning. In 1995, I wrote the poem Believe in Santa Claus as a gift to my children. This is a very personal piece for me, please do not reuse it with out permission!
In 1995, I wrote the poem Believe in Santa Claus as a gift to my children. It was at the point in their lives where many children question the belief in Santa Claus and feel betrayed that Santa Claus is just a joke that adults play upon children.
As children grow up, it is also a time when adults reject the concept of Santa Claus because they claim it conflicts with their beliefs.
Some folks would have you think that to believe in Santa Claus is counter to the true meaning of Christmas.
