first an apology to any of my loyal readers -- i was on vacation and did not take the time to write, i had an excellent hawaiian vacation and am now rested, tanned and ready to return to reality--.
i am still clean and made a couple of meetings on kauai. i quietly celebrated my eighth anniversary of my clean date yesterday and i am home a bit worse for wear and tear but i am safe. i did not even read the meditation this morning so i am a bit remiss in maintaining my recovery today -- but i will be back in action tomorrow!

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 2

1) The Tao produced One; One produced Two; Two produced Three; Three
produced All things. All things leave behind them the Obscurity (out
of which they have come), and go forward to embrace the Brightness
(into which they have emerged), while they are harmonised by the Breath
of Vacancy.
