two points of view
goals shift in the dawn
like wayward arrows
we live together
Eeyore, Winnie and I
in one soul
glimpsing illumination
while – bemoaning thorny paths

Each arrow flies differently. You can shoot a thousand arrows and each one will follow a different trajectory: that is the way of the bow.
🙂 A lovely read.

This is funny — because I have a TON of Eeyore stuff at home — everyone says I’m *just like Eeyore*!
But hey — Eeyore sends a hug to Pooh 😉

LOL … don’t know why, but you don’t give me the impression at of the Eeyore type … I’d rather be Tigger … of course I don’t have the spring in my tail 😉

So nice to see Eeyore smiling…I actually collect Eeyore for a relative.
Over the years they are amazed I haven’t sent the same thing twice.
They even have a child’s Duplo Lego set with Eeyore… But then since Disney has gotten into the Winnie the Pooh characters one can find them almost any and everywhere…

Interesting. Guess some days people are more Eeyore than Winnie. Always wondered if each of the 100 Acre Wood characters was a personality trait of Christopher Robbin. Probably a paper out on that because it seems too easy.

Probably more a character traits of how his father saw him … but very sub-conscious – I prefer to think that he just like telling his son bed-time stories 😉 but I’m sure there is some academic somewhere who tried to pull out the hidden meanings of the stories.

Oh yeah. Forgot they were written for the author’s son. Perhaps general aspects of all children then. I can figure out most of them. Not sure about Roo and Winnie though.

Hard telling but Milne based his characters on his son’s stuffed toys … Winnie went everywhere with his son when he was small … Roo is the bright sort of kid type – you know, I never thought to ask myself the inner meanings behind his characters … strange.
