โˆš to grow or even to survive, i must open my mind โˆš

and allow new ideas to be grafted onto MY LIFE.so as i get ready to hit the road and head on out, i really have to wonder if there is some sort of magic limit as to how open-minded i can be? after all, it seems lately, that i have been stuck in a rut in my acceptance and tolerance levels, which one may come to believe is the symptom of my mind snapping closed. or as i start to come out of it, just a commentary on the sad spiritual state i have \allowed myself to-lapse into.
anyhow, i could cheer lead, spout the party line or just go on about nothing, instead i will sign off with this parting shot. if i allow my mind to open today, who knows what wonderful things will transpire as a result.

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

2) The superior man ordinarily considers the left hand the most honourable
place, but in time of war the right hand. Those sharp weapons are
instruments of evil omen, and not the instruments of the superior
man;--he uses them only on the compulsion of necessity. Calm and repose
are what he prizes; victory (by force of arms) is to him undesirable.
To consider this desirable would be to delight in the slaughter of
men; and he who delights in the slaughter of men cannot get his will
in the kingdom.
