Cottleston Pie
Definition:
It stands for Inner Nature.
The song from Winne the Pooh is explained in the
book "The Tao of Pooh"
“A
fly can’t bird, a bird can
fly.” Very simple. Very obvious. And yet, you’d be surprised how many
people violate this simple principle every
day of their lives. It means that we're all different individuals even though created equal.
“A fish can’t whistle and neither can I.” Coming from a wise mind, such a statement might mean, “I have certain limitations, and I know what they are.” Unfortunately, some
people-who always seem to think they're smarter than fish and birds, somehow-aren't so wise, and end up causing big trouble for themselves and others.
"Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie
Why does a chicken, I don't know why.
Ask me a riddle and I reply:
Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie"
All we have to do is recognize Inner Nature and work with things as they are- after all "You can't get very far if you don't know who you are"
Ask me a riddle and I reply:
Inner
Nature-Cottleston Pie sounds
better, said Pooh.
Ask me a riddle and I reply:
"Things are as they are"
"
Better...But it still doesn't rhyme" said Pooh.
Cottletone, Cottlestone, Cottlestone Pie.
