Almost eve...Robert,<br />Thank you for your kind words.<br /><br />Almost every blogger has, at least, one loyal reader -- some have thousands. Regardless of the number, we have a responsibility to write from the heart, not simply write for the sake of writing.<br /><br />I try to keep this in mind every time I sit down in front of my keyboard.The Rambling Taoisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730292897416827840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-40811761513174205362009-10-27T03:38:46.393-07:002009-10-27T03:38:46.393-07:00You are just one of two bloggers I either fully, p...You are just one of two bloggers I either fully, partially or scan nearly each of your post. Your postings to me has nothing to do with writing as much as I sense your sincerity.<br /><br />You are a person I count on for "Honest" dialogue, you are a Taoist and yet you are not; I admire that about you. I love your writing, I consider you one of my confidant for The Way.Robert Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10489413854472167052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-71626044278517035542009-10-26T17:39:06.124-07:002009-10-26T17:39:06.124-07:00Baroness,

Were it not for computers and the internet, I would hold conversations with rocks. :D<br /><br />Mike,<br />No apologies needed!! You added much to this overall discussion and made some excellent points that I neglected. Thank you.

I have placed all my eggs in the wu wei basket, even at work, ands there are times when uncertainty sets in--should I be more agressive, should I take the bull by the horns, should I be more "managerial." But I trust in the way, in the folding and unfolding, in letting things run their course. It's actually an amazing phenomenon to watch. <br /><br />Two things to watch for--not being gleeful in watching someone lead themselves to their own destruction--I think as things fold and unfold naturally, it is our responsibility to try to help others do their best. Also, we are not to be pushovers, victims, or doormats. We are called to stand up for the truth and justice, and to "admonish" others when it is our responsibility to do so. This is what makes us teachers. A sifu wouldn't be very good if he simply allowed his students progress to unfold naturally without correction and instruction(having just written that sentence I realize there are many instances where a sifu would do exactly that, but in a different context and actually as a teaching tool and under his watchful eye).<br /><br />In this life, when we are consumed by desires, even if they are simpler desires like being able to pay the rent and buy food, we sometimes become impatient with wu wei, but it's the way to go.<br /><br />Sorry for the long post.<br /><br />Peace,<br /><br />Mikemike ferruggiahttp://www.mytaichilife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-768608176179999862009-10-25T23:32:05.832-07:002009-10-25T23:32:05.832-07:00Someone said the trick about writing is not about ...Someone said the trick about writing is not about having something interesting to say, but making what you say interesting.<br /><br />You post more in a day, than I do in a week!
