and it is easer for me to move beyond the things that separate myself from the program that has been an integral part of giving me this life of rewards and challenges that i never dreamed possible. the irony of this reading is not missed on me, it should have come three days ago when i was all twisted up about being here.
well i need to eat so i will continue this later

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 1
The thirty spokes unite in the one nave; but it is on
the empty space (for the axle), that the use of the wheel depends.
Clay is fashioned into vessels; but it is on their empty hollowness,
that their use depends. The door and windows are cut out (from the
walls) to form an apartment; but it is on the empty space (within),
that its use depends. Therefore, what has a (positive) existence serves
for profitable adaptation, and what has not that for (actual) usefulness.
