😢 being human 😢
posted: Sat, May 14, 2022 07:09:05 AM
when i opened my bag this morning to pull out my JFT, the one i have had for twenty-five years, i caalled the hotel in Casper to see if anyone had turned it in, when they cleaned my room. the employee that answered did not even check and said no one had turned anything in. my experience with that hotel just went form fair to poor and i will be sending be giving them a negative review. it could be that the cleaning crew just chucked my JFT into the bin and that is that, but not even going back to see if they left it at the front desk is just piss-poor customer service. now that i have dumped that drop of poison, i can move into my day.
my cousin is cooking breakfast for all of this morning, before the service for his Dad. i was going to get a walk done before i had breakfast, but decided to sleep in, sit and get this written before i start my day. basically, i know that i certainly owe this side of my family a whole lot of time and presence, that i can never give back. as i sat with my Uncles and Aunts yesterday afternoon, i realized that living with what cannot be changed is not going to allow me to be present for what i can change. so that means i wrap this up, shut down my computer and live in the here and now and let my regrets of what has passed, fade to black. it is a GR8 day to be with family and celebrate my Uncle Tom.

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
3) Their court(-yards and buildings) shall be well kept, but their
fields shall be ill-cultivated, and their granaries very empty. They
shall wear elegant and ornamented robes, carry a sharp sword at their
girdle, pamper themselves in eating and drinking, and have a superabundance
of property and wealth;--such (princes) may be called robbers and
boasters. This is contrary to the Tao surely!
