surely be rejected, as the result of letting anyone get to see me as i really am. more than once that particular scenario played out: let someone on, show them my **dark** side, and BOOM they were gone. my experience taught me to be whatever i needed to be, rather than risk the pain of rejection and i bought that **story** hook, line and sinker. when i got clean, and was told over and over and over again, that i could be who i really was, the story i had told myself for so long, was so deeply ingrained upon my psyche, it would take year to allow it to loosen its grip. even now, i her that refrain from time to time and wonder “what if…”
this nee not be a sad lesson in my history and fast forwarding to right here and right now, i have family members waiting for me to “show up.” even though i have been up for hours, i have yet to make my “grand” entrance. so instead of filling the page with words, i think i will walk out, join the crowd and see what today my bring.

☯ 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

2) Therefore the sentence-makers have thus expressed themselves:--

'The Tao, when brightest seen, seems light to lack;
Who progress in it makes, seems drawing back;
Its even way is like a rugged track.
Its highest virtue from the vale doth rise;
Its greatest beauty seems to offend the eyes;
And he has most whose lot the least supplies.
Its firmest virtue seems but poor and low;
Its solid truth seems change to undergo;
Its largest square doth yet no corner show
A vessel great, it is the slowest made;
Loud is its sound, but never word it said;
A semblance great, the shadow of a shade.'
