if i can apply this same principle of open-mindedness to my recovery, i may surprise myself by how easily i grasp the program.
so i am very late in writing this brief message today. i need to take care of myself so all you get is the quote from the reading. life is good and i am not well and not taking care of myself with have some consequences i am unwilling to accept -- so off to the dark quiet room for a bit.

Translated by James Legge
Book 2

as carriages without naves; and yet these are the designations which
kings and princes use for themselves. So it is that some things are
increased by being diminished, and others are diminished by being
increased.
