am i breaking my anonymity by posting to this blog on a daily basis. or perhaps i am practicing a 12th step by writing this. i have been going back and forth on this for a few months and my conclusion is that i am just doing something that helps me without harming anyone else.
this forum for me has been a God-send. it has allowed me to work through some things by posting daily. it also has allowed some fellow travelers to also get some kinks out. i have never said that i was part of any organization nor proclaimed to the world how great i am because of the path i have chosen. although in the long run this may come back to bite me in my a$$, for toady it is an exercise in getting my thoughts down before getting very far through the day.
i have absolutely no expectation of reward for writing this except that i may actually have a better day, but today's reading has made me think about my future plans for the features i was going to add.
anyhow enough musing about what is and what may be and time to get on with my day.

☯ 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.
