first an apology to any of my loyal readers -- i was on vacation and did not take the time to write, i had an excellent hawaiian vacation and am now rested, tanned and ready to return to reality--.
i am still clean and made a couple of meetings on kauai. i quietly celebrated my eighth anniversary of my clean date yesterday and i am home a bit worse for wear and tear but i am safe. i did not even read the meditation this morning so i am a bit remiss in maintaining my recovery today -- but i will be back in action tomorrow!

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) Without going outside his door, one understands (all that takes
place) under the sky; without looking out from his window, one sees
the Tao of Heaven. The farther that one goes out (from himself), the
less he knows.
