Meme-ness

Borrowed from teaphile:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next three sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
6. Tag five other people to do the same.

A Guide To The Bodhisattva's Way Of Life
By Shantideva

With folded hands I beseech
The conquerers who wish to pass away,
To please remain for countless aeons
And not to leave the world in darkness.

That really is the book next to the computer.

Your turn.

Yeah, the first two were way better than the rest, although I like the fourth one better than the third. Fifth is so short I hardly even recognized it and I've only read it once so I don't remember it that well. Anyway, that's why this one was the book next to me, I was trying to brush up my Swedish but just got stuck 75 pages in :) I read so slowly in Swedish it will take *ages* to get past some of the more annoying parts, I just can't do that to myself right now :D Even if I know there are parts I like very much as well...
