...upset my employer or my family. but when i try to correct this problem by resigning from service altogether, the other side of the scales go out of balance. well for me, it is not service that tips the scales out of balance, it is rather working for myself. i just left me family gathering and my intention was to come home and work. i have decided that i need some me time instead. i need to relax and do nothing the rest of the day, so i can balance my scales. so it is off the computer and into a bit of nap time. then i will see what i can do next.

Tao Te Ching

☯ 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

1) The (state of) vacancy should be brought to the utmost degree,
and that of stillness guarded with unwearying vigour. All things alike
go through their processes of activity, and (then) we see them return
(to their original state). When things (in the vegetable world) have
displayed their luxuriant growth, we see each of them return to its
root. This returning to their root is what we call the state of stillness;
and that stillness may be called a reporting that they have fulfilled
their appointed end.
