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 ☯

THE TAO TEH KING, OR THE TAO AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 1

3) Hence, those with whom he agrees as to the Tao have the happiness
of attaining to it; those with whom he agrees as to its manifestation
have the happiness of attaining to it; and those with whom he agrees
in their failure have also the happiness of attaining (to the Tao).
(But) when there is not faith sufficient (on his part), a want of
faith (in him) ensues (on the part of the others).
