another day

Posted: Mon, Jun 21, 2004 04:44:10 AM

i hate to see my friends suffering
and lately it seems the suffering seems to be greater than usual

i understand that there is very little that i can do to relieve their suffering and of course now is the time my fantasies about being the fixer kick in.
this is the part of me that believes that i can do the impossible and be everything for everyone. i know that means that it is time to be working harder on myself so i can be there to give them the emotional and spiritual support to allow them to get through their trials and move into a new place


so just for today i will let go and let our collective Higher Powers do their job

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 skilful traveller leaves no traces of his wheels or footsteps;
the skilful speaker says nothing that can be found fault with or blamed;
the skilful reckoner uses no tallies; the skilful closer needs no
bolts or bars, while to open what he has shut will be impossible;
the skilful binder uses no strings or knots, while to unloose what
he has bound will be impossible. In the same way the sage is always
skilful at saving men, and so he does not cast away any man; he is
always skilful at saving things, and so he does not cast away anything.
This is called 'Hiding the light of his procedure.'
