∞ showing up for life and doing what's put in front of me ∞
posted: Sat, Feb 18, 2006 05:09:46 PM
well it has been a day. i started writing this blog this morning and my mumbly pegs of fingers tripped over the wrong key on my laptop. and then of course i was too late to stop and rewrite it -- oh well --. it is probably that i muse now at the end of my day‘s activities, then rush something out just to get it done.
well, i did show up for life today and life really showed up for me. i got evidence that there are people who actually love me and want to help me through whatever comes my way. today it was moving two separate households into a new one. we got the work done in record time, with a minimum of fuss and they graciously left me and my significant other alone to deal with arranging the separate pieces of our lives into some sort of resemblance of new life. and we are working on that now, we have done the shared spaces and now each of us are working on our own domains and we have yet to have a knock-down drag out fight!
so what is left in front of me today? cover a service commitment for a grand-sponsee so he can share his fifth step and figure out how my big dawg is going to adjust to life in the new pack at the new place. the time has come for me to take a bit of a break and breather, than get a bite to eat before running out to the meeting. anyhow i will be back tomorrow, perhaps a bit earlier and see what the day brings!

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
3) Therefore when the sovereign occupies his place as the Son of Heaven,
and he has appointed his three ducal ministers, though (a prince)
were to send in a round symbol-of-rank large enough to fill both the
hands, and that as the precursor of the team of horses (in the court-yard),
such an offering would not be equal to (a lesson of) this Tao, which
one might present on his knees.
