โˆš to grow or even to survive, i must open my mind โˆš

and allow new ideas to be grafted onto MY LIFE.so as i get ready to hit the road and head on out, i really have to wonder if there is some sort of magic limit as to how open-minded i can be? after all, it seems lately, that i have been stuck in a rut in my acceptance and tolerance levels, which one may come to believe is the symptom of my mind snapping closed. or as i start to come out of it, just a commentary on the sad spiritual state i have \allowed myself to-lapse into.
anyhow, i could cheer lead, spout the party line or just go on about nothing, instead i will sign off with this parting shot. if i allow my mind to open today, who knows what wonderful things will transpire as a result.

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

3) Hence, those with whom he agrees as to the Tao have the happiness
of attaining to it; those with whom he agrees as to its manifestation
have the happiness of attaining to it; and those with whom he agrees
in their failure have also the happiness of attaining (to the Tao).
(But) when there is not faith sufficient (on his part), a want of
faith (in him) ensues (on the part of the others).
