However, this particular post is more a complaint against the Democratic Party than our Republican [p]Resident.<BR/><BR/>Over the next several months, my posts here are apt to be more political, in nature, simply because I am again neck deep in Green Party politics and administration. I tend to write about what I'm focused on and political endeavors are what I'm focused on until November.<BR/><BR/>I do understand your plea, however. I'll try to work on achieving better balance.The Rambling Taoisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730292897416827840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-1149089469608028912006-05-31T08:31:00.000-07:002006-05-31T08:31:00.000-07:00Trey,I know this is your blog and your open forum ...Trey,<BR/><BR/>I know this is your blog and your open forum to get things off your chest (thanks for having open comments!! :-) )...but I think you're getting pretty heavily focused on anti-Shrubism.<BR/><BR/>I'd really enjoy it if you'd refocus the discussion back on Tao and such...i've enjoyed your posts about books you've read and modern applications of the Tao passages.<BR/><BR/>In any case..<BR/>thanks!<BR/><BR/>FLfloundericiousmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12528968755855966339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-1149040169041954552006-05-30T18:49:00.000-07:002006-05-30T18:49:00.000-07:00http://www.peacetakescourage.com/page-home.htmchec...http://www.peacetakescourage.com/page-home.htm<BR/><BR/>check it out!tao1776https://www.blogger.com/profile/13829911813257886445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-1149000667369173452006-05-30T07:51:00.000-07:002006-05-30T07:51:00.000-07:00OneThe Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao...<I><B><BR/>One<BR/><BR/>The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.<BR/>The name that can be named is not the eternal name.<BR/>The nameless is the beginning of heaven and Earth.<BR/>The named is the mother of the ten thousand things.<BR/>Ever desireless, one can see the mystery.<BR/>Ever desiring, one sees the manifestations.<BR/>These two spring from the same source but differ in name; this appears as darkness.<BR/>Darkness within darkness.<BR/>The gate to all mystery<BR/></B></I><BR/><BR/>Translation:<BR/><BR/>From apparent chaos, we appear..we exist for a short time...and then we rejoin the way with our dying breath.
