δ the winds of life blow new airs our way each moment; δ
posted: Tue, Sep 11, 2007 09:55:45 AM
as i bend with the winds of life, i feel and hear and touch and smell and taste all it has to offer me.
so today has already started off to be quite the windy day, and those winds are quite gusty this morning. i have boatloads of work to accomplish and there is more than one distraction happening to keep me from my tasks. so it goes, what i am feeling and hearing is that i need to bend else i will break. this is one of those readings that always seems to come at the time i most need it, i can see change all around me, and the irony of it, that change is being reflected on the inside also. no one seems to be quite right this morning, myself included. life is chaotic and i am doing my best to bend with the breeze, or gale, whatever the case may be.
anyhow, i am back after yet another distraction, i will get what i need to get done today, and most of all i will surrender and allow myself to bend, the rigidity i exhibit these days in a whole lot less than ever before. i can be flexible and recover today

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 1
1) If any one should wish to get the kingdom for himself, and to effect
this by what he does, I see that he will not succeed. The kingdom
is a spirit-like thing, and cannot be got by active doing. He who
would so win it destroys it; he who would hold it in his grasp loses
it.
