"What do you think is the most impressive thing in this life, that you ever saw with your own eyes?" I ask Lao Tzu.
Lao Tzu doesn't reply. He may be asleep, sitting there.
"What about bugs? Mud? A broken stick?"
Lao Tzu shrugs.
I spy a squirrel in the backyard. "What about squirrels?"
"Ah! You should probably have been a squirrel in this life." says Lao Tzu.
