Max’s puzzle actually answered itself in ‘invisible’ font… Some digital lemon juice does the trick! The answer is ‘Seva’, meaning ‘selfless service’ and/or compassion depending on who you ask… ‘Seva’ is one of the key principles of Sikhism…Max also provided an invisible link to Seva.org. The Jewish idea of a ‘mitzvah’ (an unselfish kindness) is not all that much different.
Wish I could take credit for the ‘Buddha Eyes’, but it’s just a lame copy of the (better) ones that grace the top of the great Stupa at Katmandu, Nepal:
In Buddhism it’s just compassion, which springs from metta, or ‘loving kindness’, though my heretic gang likes to translate it more as ‘uncritical friendliness.’
Wondrous drawing. It brought to mind a t-shirt I once saw Senrab wearing. Here’s a puzzler:
What do Sky’s amazing eyes, Ram Das, Steve Jobs, Wavy Gravy, a Brilliant couple, Dr. V., and former members of the Grateful Dead have in common?
SEVA

I remember that t-shirt; but I cannot solve the puzzle.
What? What?
Great work, Sky.
Wait — Do they all have dots where their third eye should be?

Frickin’ puzzle. ‘Invisible Link’ pbhhht. Hate shit like that.
Here’s an invisible link for you –
Yeah. That’s right. Really invisible. Only the smartest people can figure it out.
And fuck that uncritical friendliness. Friendliness comes with a kick in the nuts, that’s what I say.
An invisible kick in the nuts.
