... and are rewarded with acceptance, i realize that honest sharing is not life-threatening; my secrets have lost their power over me. okay it is after 2:00 PM and i am just getting around to writing this. so =without going into gory details, it has been quite a day so far. this is a wonderful break that is giving me a chance to breathe. it is not like i had a terrible day, i did get a massage and some work accomplished before that. just not what i had planned. so it goes...
.. my big secret? that i might enjoy being on pain killers next week after surgery, i have been sharing about my FEAR over the course of the past couple of days, and by now, it is no secret, and the power has been stripped from it.
so nayhow, the break is over, and i need to get humping, again! just in case you missed the HOPE -- it is an excellent day to recover!

☯ 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 2

2) Let the kingdom be governed according to the Tao, and the manes
of the departed will not manifest their spiritual energy. It is not
that those manes have not that spiritual energy, but it will not be
employed to hurt men. It is not that it could not hurt men, but neither
does the ruling sage hurt them.
