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!

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
1) He whose boldness appears in his daring (to do wrong, in defiance
of the laws) is put to death; he whose boldness appears in his not
daring (to do so) lives on. Of these two cases the one appears to
be advantageous, and the other to be injurious. But
When Heaven's anger smites a man,
Who the cause shall truly scan? On this account the sage feels a difficulty
(as to what to do in the former case).
