Another Hint

O Timothy,

Your ode to the invincible peach was deeply moving. Now we must begin to persuade humanity that life is best viewed through the ocular of peaches.



Now I will venture into the fruitful realm of world religions, as seen through peaches.



Buddhism.

Siddhartha Gautama upon leaving the palace was greeted by the "four sights".

1. A man eating an apple.

2. A Woman eating an orange.

3. Children fighting over a bannana.

4. An elderly man looking forlornly at a peach pit.



Rudely awakened to the realities of a peachless life, Siddhartha decided to become an extreme ascetic, that is, to allow himself only 1 peach/ day. After a while, he realized that life was best traveled in "the middle way", or a diet 99% peaches by volume.



Whilst traveling with a few fellow peachers, siddhartha set his eyes on a beautiful but green peach hanging from a tree. It was just above his reach, and his ideas of a balanced life would contradict any extraordinary efforts to climb the tree, so he decided to wait for the peach to fall. After 49 days of meditation on the peach, it actually fell into his hands,this historic act was otherwise called boddhi, or the "enlightenment". After devouring the peach, siddhartha became buddha because he had found the pefect equilibrium.



The Noble Eightfold Path is as follows.

1. Look for a Peach Tree.

2. Look for a good peach.

3. Meditate on the chosen fructine.

4. Meditate for 49 days.

5. Observe the chosen fructine

6. Compose odes to the peach.

7. Draw and Paint the peach.

8. When it falls into your hands, devour it.
