Pondering in my heart regarding Buddha Jesus and Jim Palmer :o) resulted in googling Buddha as mentioned earlier and musing on detachment, and attachment and suffering and hope, paradoxes, etc.
The carrot on a stick represents the paradox of attachment inherent in detachment (vis a vis the stick) - futility with hope stuck inside of it and vice versa. In a way, chasing a carrot on a stick is the ultimate detachment - the ultimate surrender and the ultimate hope - the ultimate love.
It is the detachment from everything even the detachment from contentment. but still being alive.. all the while.. trotting/moving along getting your job done, your work your earthly purpose - the carrot - is the faith hope and the love that keeps us going.
Somehow makes sense to me sort of liking making play out of work... :o)
People at work would say "keren you are trippin" I do need a trip and am planning one!
