hear myself talk. i am a very reactive sort of person, which means that when i hear something, i want to instantly throw in my two cents worth, whether or not i really know what is being discussed at the time or i know anything about it. on top of that, i have a tendency to be cynically judgemental. those two attributes are the root of most of the corrective action of my daily TENTH STEP. as this trip wears on, i find myself, saying less and less, when i really want to say a whole lot more. daily, i get a lesson in letting go of what is not my stuff and not saying what i think, to THE person who seems to exhibit the same two fatal flaws as myself. remembering who i am and who i want to be, will carry me forward into this day, and perhaps i will be just a touch more positive, just for today.

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) How irresolute did those (earliest rulers) appear, showing (by
their reticence) the importance which they set upon their words! Their
work was done and their undertakings were successful, while the people
all said, 'We are as we are, of ourselves!'
