โˆž serving others, serving myself โˆž

Posted: Mon, Aug 22, 2005 05:42:00 AM

thinking about my service efforts these days has me wondering if i really am doing all that i need to. then i quickly inventory my efforts and list them against the rest of what i need or want to do on a daily basis and come to the conclusion that i probably am. the problem is really not how much i am doing but rather how well i am balancing my service efforts within my life. and today it is that balance that needs to be adjusted and not by removing anything, but by readjusting the relative values of each part and prioritizing each element on a day to day basis.
i will continue to be of service on both an organized level and personally when asked and when i have the resources available.
today things feel balanced and i feel a part of the fellowship that saved my life.

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 Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging
Tao. The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging
name.
