for tolerance is not something i would actually do, as the way things work for me, i would get far to many opportunities to have to practice tolerance in my daily journey. the source material certainly could have used a better headline, such as praying to tolerate those whom i find annoying or annoy me, for one reason or another. i am well-versed in praying for those with whom i may have an issue or three and most of the time, i do end-up finding them a bit more tolerable as time rolls on. oddly enough, if i do think about, i guess i am praying for a bit of tolerance, just being very specific instead sending out a global request, as in respond to all 😁
this has been one of those days where nothing seems to be going as i want and expect it to go. i got up late because my FitBit ran out of juice and since then, i feel as if i am swimming upstream and am not getting very far. what that means for me anyhow, is to let go of control and allow stuff to happen as it will. i have PT and a massage today so i am using some sick time to cover those hours at work. i have accomplished nothing at work and i am rushing to get this done, as this day just does not seem to have enough minutes in it. so i will take a deep breath, cruise around the block and get over to my physical therapy appointment. all i NEED to do today, is to stay clean, and remember that if i am present, the answers to my questions will be revealed to me, maybe not when i want them to be, but when i need them to be .

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics

Book 1

2) When harmony no longer prevailed throughout the six kinships, filial
sons found their manifestation; when the states and clans fell into
disorder, loyal ministers appeared.
