I was dancing/working out at Jazzercise the other day,
Exercise for Bunnies
when I thought about how almost everyone yearns to experience natural grace and flow. We want to move beautifully. We know that when we do, there's a quality that goes with that, and others can see it. Viscerally, a person feels it. And we--at least I --want that to be the quality of my movements.
Excellence of movement happens on so many levels. There's the oratory of Barack Obama, the cooking of Julia Child, the dancing of Michael Jackson. They are all very cool. There is an excellence that comes into its own. It's when we are very clearly who we are, and we are operating totally in sync with the excellence of what we do.
I do think all of us want to be cool. And as we know from our adventures in middle school (ok, well MY adventures there, anyway) one can't be cool by trying to "be cool." Or not for very long, anyway. Cool is an unconscious byproduct of authenticity and excellence, and that's why it's so- cool.
And then I was thinking that coolness is part of our evolution. If we go to 'incarnation school' long enough to meet and become this thing we call "enlightenment," we also will somehow be very "cool."

cool can't be defined.cool can't be thought out. if you try to be cool, you're probably not. fuck wanting to be cool. btw, I love Julia Child's recipe for rabbit stew. Although personally, I'd rather fuck Meryl Streep, which is probably not cool to post publicly.
Yeah, you can't. So keep yer pants on.

Cool is a vibe and you're cool in my book, Martha!
(BTW…can you believe Johnny Depp is going to play the Mad Hatter in Alice and Wonderland? Oooooooooh :-D He's so cool. LOL)
You're Way “Martha Cool.”
We can't make ourself be cool ( hurtin' wannabe), or call ourself cool. It is for others to think or say–or not, and is just their opinion or figment of their imagination. It is a word we cannot assign to ourself – like “enlightened” or “infidel”.
You're One of a Kind. And I think that's cool. There's lots of OOAK's out there and Here.
I agree with mimi that “cool” is an attribute that can only be ascribed to something or someone by someone ELSE… and I agree that Martha is Way Cool… :-)
And I also think Johnny Depp is so cool and will be awesome as the Mad Hatter!
I don't know about Johnny Depp but I agree with mimi
I like that saying about dance like no one is watching.
IT IS of course THE ACTION of BEING cool which personifies THE art of ZEN …
