hello friends and visitors, i am taking a break from blogging. i have made all my previous posts private and am going to drop off the radar for a while. i need to be completely in my own head right now… and present in my life. not that tumblr is too much a distraction, but it has been enough to make the list of things to drop. i’m always unsure of just how much i want to share… so until i feel more like myself, i’m going to take to pen and paper. i have a lot of things brewing, and when i return i hope to have a lot of positive things to share. perhaps i will post here and there, but, this is basically me closing the covers of a journal i’ve been writing in for a very long time. i love it, but time to put it on the bookshelf and start anew.
Thirty Three
Knowing others is wisdom;
Knowing the self is enlightenment.
Mastering others requires force;
Mastering the self needs strength.
He who knows he has enough is rich.
Perseverance is a sign of willpower.
He who stays where he is endures.
To die but not to perish is to be eternally present.
-Tao Te Ching, Lao Tsu
