well it certainly feels like it sometimes! not really, i have come to the conclusion that although i cannot see down the path ahead of me, i need to have FAITH that what lies ahead is more of what has already occurred. namely spiritual, emotional and general growth. i am not the type who likes to live in the her and now, i want to have stability in my day to day affairs and lately what i have been getting is new and different. in fact, i am pounding this out just before leaving for the airport to participate in an event that at one time was way beyond my wildest dreams.
anyways, i wish i could write more, but i have allowed the time to slip away from me this morning and now am in a crunch to get this done, as well as another thousand things on my way to california. so hopefully i will find the ways and means to update this while i am gone and if not i hope all of those who read this little ditty on a periodic basis will forgive me, after all there are only so many hours in a day!
a post script: i do not often write a second blog but i have a few extra minutes on my journey today ...
... so here it goes.
i am a bit anxious about what is coming up over the next couple of days and am doing my best to muster the courage necessary to continue through to the end! right now, i want to run away and find a place to hide for the next eight days and pretend i do got kidnapped or something! kind of silly but you know it seems REALLY fucking silly! i will be all right and i do not even need to scream! life is good today and i will be okay. so off to catch my plane and move forward down the road!

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

1) The (state of) vacancy should be brought to the utmost degree,
and that of stillness guarded with unwearying vigour. All things alike
go through their processes of activity, and (then) we see them return
(to their original state). When things (in the vegetable world) have
displayed their luxuriant growth, we see each of them return to its
root. This returning to their root is what we call the state of stillness;
and that stillness may be called a reporting that they have fulfilled
their appointed end.
