...dirty about my life or my lifestyle -- i am e living clean, and am grateful to be doing so at last. okay so the last 12 hours have been quite an adventure. i arrived in Spokane an hour later, i slept great on the airplane and could not do work.
anyhow the family is calling so it is time to head out
after all living clean means doing the next right thing

☯ 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

He who stands on his tiptoes does not stand firm; he who stretches
his legs does not walk (easily). (So), he who displays himself does
not shine; he who asserts his own views is not distinguished; he who
vaunts himself does not find his merit acknowledged; he who is self-
conceited has no superiority allowed to him. Such conditions, viewed
from the standpoint of the Tao, are like remnants of food, or a tumour
on the body, which all dislike. Hence those who pursue (the course)
of the Tao do not adopt and allow them.
