when my individual contribution is combined with others, i become an essential part of a grand design. i am connected at last. so for a Saturday morning i am far from home and have been up for way to long already. the drive to where i am presents a parallel to the reading. on the way down, i finally came to terms with why i was so involved in chaos and controversy over the past week. what it comes down to, is that i share a passion and a vision but not necessarily the means for accomplishing it. within in me i find an awakening to being true and whole, and to not be who i am, and let those with whom i serve know who i am, i am being dishonest and at best disingenuous. the conflict withing, coming from my fear of being wrong and my need to be right, spilled out of my human shell, and as a reult chaos swirled around me. so this morning way down south, i find a new direction for this inner conflict, be true to myself, express my doubt and reservations out loud and let the process work. a paradigm shift for sure for me, keeping a vision in mind but focusing on the process of achieving it and allowing others that same creative freedom. i do make a difference, and my legacy is that in some small, perhaps insignificant way i can assist my vision in be realized.
so the time to go take care of responsibility has come and now i must leave. see you all later!

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics

Translated by James Legge

Book 1

2) I do not know its name, and I give it the designation of the Tao
(the Way or Course). Making an effort (further) to give it a name
I call it The Great.
