i will do well to sharply remind myself of all that is going right. but of course, sharply reminding myself of anything often turns into a quick bashing of myself. i am so glad that the reading goes on to talk about how i can take a mini-inventory and turn the results over to something GREATER and far more capable of taking care of business than me. i could go on and on, however that is all that happens to come to mind this busy saturday morning. perhaps as the day progresses i will have more to say. perhaps not, be that as it may, back to the grind!

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
1) The Tao produced One; One produced Two; Two produced Three; Three
produced All things. All things leave behind them the Obscurity (out
of which they have come), and go forward to embrace the Brightness
(into which they have emerged), while they are harmonised by the Breath
of Vacancy.
