ฮด the winds of life blow new airs our way each moment; ฮด

Posted: Tue, Sep 11, 2007 09:55:45 AM

as i bend with the winds of life, i feel and hear and touch and smell and taste all it has to offer me.
so today has already started off to be quite the windy day, and those winds are quite gusty this morning. i have boatloads of work to accomplish and there is more than one distraction happening to keep me from my tasks. so it goes, what i am feeling and hearing is that i need to bend else i will break. this is one of those readings that always seems to come at the time i most need it, i can see change all around me, and the irony of it, that change is being reflected on the inside also. no one seems to be quite right this morning, myself included. life is chaotic and i am doing my best to bend with the breeze, or gale, whatever the case may be.
anyhow, i am back after yet another distraction, i will get what i need to get done today, and most of all i will surrender and allow myself to bend, the rigidity i exhibit these days in a whole lot less than ever before. i can be flexible and recover 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 2

1) All things are produced by the Tao, and nourished by its outflowing
operation. They receive their forms according to the nature of each,
and are completed according to the circumstances of their condition.
Therefore all things without exception honour the Tao, and exalt its
outflowing operation.
