pooh wei

so, i read 'the tao of pooh' at the behest of one of my very good friends. the whole book shows the basics of taoism through the character of winnie the pooh.
i love winnie the pooh. classic pooh. naked pooh as opposed to the clothed disney version.

what i liked best was that the author described pooh as an uncarved block or 'pu' meaning pure potential and perception without prejudice. or that pooh just IS...no good no bad no beauty no ugly, just IS. he just is a bear of little brain who doesn't think about what he does he just does it and in the end, it all just works out.
