One of my nieces had been going through a rough patch in her relationships and I sent her an email telling her you never know who is going to walk into your life and change it, so be open. That was on the heels of having met Tatjana. In recent discussions with her regarding the complexities of our adoption progress, she sent me back my own email to tell me to be open. What goes around, comes around. Ain’t that the truth.<\/p>\n
Today’s Tao te Ching meditation is #10 – and it is a perfect ten for the day:<\/p>\n
Can you coax your mind from its wandering
\nand keep to the original oneness?
\nCan you let your body become
\nsupple as a newborn child’s?
\nCan you cleanse your inner vision
\nuntil you see nothing but the light?
\nCan you love people and lead them
\nwithout imposing your will?
\nCan you deal with the most vital matters
\nby letting events take their course?
\nCan you step back from your own mind
\nand thus understand all things?<\/p>\n
Giving birth and nourishing,
\nhaving without possessing,
\nacting with no expectations,
\nleading and not trying to control:
\nthis is the supreme virtue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
