Some years ago a group of wise men set forth on a rowing boat along the river of life, leaving the boat behind. They began to climb towards the top of Mount improbable

A telescope was used to look off into the distance, where they spied a huge rock, which filled the horizon

The Buddhist was the first to speak, saying this rock is Enlightenment. The transmutation of thought, which is the grounding of all being

The Hindu spoke next this rock is Brahma, the very grounding of reality

The Christian said this is proof of the design of the living god whose touches felt upon all things

The Marxist said, this rock is a property of all and no one can claim prior
ownership of it

The scientist said this rock is the arc of symmetry in which no law is
immutable

The existentialist stated that the rock can change my perspective, and I can
change my perspective of the rock and yet I am not unmoved by it

The aboriginal said, the rock is the dreaming, from which all forms spring

The materialist said, it’s just a bloody big rock, and it was decided not to
invite him next time. Until they remembered he was the one who made the
sandwiches
