∞ as i learn how to effectively practice spiritual principles …
posted: Fri, Oct 24, 2008 04:20:21 PM
..in all areas of my life, the quality of my life improves.
and boy does it, however being responsible today, meant that i did not get a chance to write this until right now. i had a major fire to put out this morning, then had to be in Estes Park by 12:30, so as a result, here it is.
okay, so what am i thinking now? well i am thinking that the time to reconnect with the event that is going on is upon me. i already had to miss a sponsee sharing to check that my work this morning was done correctly, and although i really, really would have liked to have been there for him, i also knew that if i want to have the quality to my life that i have grown accustomed to, then i have to be accountable to those who pay my wages, such as they are.
so my tasks here are done, i am off to be present for what is going on!

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 1
1) The Tao is (like) the emptiness of a vessel; and in our employment
of it we must be on our guard against all fulness. How deep and unfathomable
it is, as if it were the Honoured Ancestor of all things!
