Yoda wisdom for Gungan groupies

Compiled by Alcuin Bramerton
from privileged sources in the Outer Rim



Page update: 01.06.10 Planet Earth western hemisphere linear time

***

Yoda senses a disturbance
in The Force.
On Planet Earth
another animal
has been needlessly
butchered

for human food.

***

Yoda has taught
many young Jedis
in his time,
but he knows that
teaching is not something
you do to pupils;
teaching is something you are.


***

Yoda is aware that
7.6 million British women
own more than sixteen
pairs of shoes each,
yet still The Force remains strong
within him.


***
Yoda thinks that astrology
will be better understood
on Planet Earth
when human science becomes
a little more mature.


***

Yoda trusts his own anger;
he has a second cup of tea
with
Saruman the White.

***

Gungans are not
intellectuals.
Yoda knows this
but stays positive.


***

On Christmas Eve,
when Yoda encounters
a fresh slice of
hot buttered toast,
his light sabre glows blue.
But he does not eat it.
Even a
Jedi Master
cannot easily digest
a light sabre.


***

In The Adam and Eve pub,
in Bishopgate, Norwich (UK),
Yoda, Albus Dumbledore

and Gandalf the Grey
occasionally enjoy a game
of three-sided chess.
But they take care

to leave the pawns untouched.
***

The thing about Yoda
is that
Yoda doesn't blog.


***

Yoda doesn't eat chocolate;
he wills the chocolate
to be eaten by others.


***

Yoda understands himself;
he knows about
the internal architecture
of being.


***

Yoda is everywhere;
he is everywhere
all at once,
except you don't notice.


***

Think quantum transdimensionality
and you think Yoda.
But you don't touch Yoda
with your thought;
Yoda touches you with his.


***

Yoda's ears are chimerical;
they look as if
they're listening.
But actually
his ears
are looking.

They are looking elsewhere.

    You got me thinking with one of your posts up here. I think you're wrong. Apparently, Yoda does blog:
