what will i do to enhance the peace in my immediate vicinity today??
HMMMMMM
since i am at convention and not out in the real world today, that turns things a bit. i know that i will do my best to walk and act with dignity and self-respect. i also know i will do my best to lessen the wake of my passing. i am in a good space today, away from home with the woman i love and enjoying the fact that at least here i am a tiny little fish in a big pond filled with other tiny fish. rushing around and acting self-important will not enhance either the peace of the piece of the world i am in nor will it enhance my internal peace. so i think i will let go, go with the flow and see what happens!

1) He who would assist a lord of men in harmony with the Tao will
not assert his mastery in the kingdom by force of arms. Such a course
is sure to meet with its proper return.
