excerpts from the spiritual teachings of el keyote…
‘a student asked miracle spirit “what’s the difference between ‘catchin’ the sketch’ and ‘squirelling out?’” miracle spirit nodded in acknowledgement to el keyote and deferred to his infinite spirit wisdom. el keyote instead posed a koan to his student: “an artist sketches his world, what he or she sees. a squirrel forages for acorns and hides them in the world he or she knows.” the student rejoiced in jubilation for he finally understood life’s great ponderance.’
