When you mean what you say

I was wishing my dear friend a happy birthday today and gave her an illustrated copy of the Tao Te Ching – there are only so many people who would really appreciate this book in my life and she’s one of them. It’s of course the one translated by Stephen Mitchell but I said this book has been a constant companion on my bedside for more than two decades.

She said her horoscope was stellar this morning – that something was going to happen big and she just had to sit back and wait and let it happen. Ah, how perfect a horoscope on your birthday when you are in receipt of the Tao.

And how I hope the very best for her and that she sees her horoscope come alive asap.
