anonymous??

Posted: Fri, Sep 3, 2004 04:56:14 AM

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.

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

4) (Those who) possessed the highest (sense of) propriety were (always
seeking) to show it, and when men did not respond to it, they bared
the arm and marched up to them.
