You are welcome.
The Tao Te Ching, and particularly the Gia-Fu Feng/Jane English version, are a constant source of inspiration and wisdom for me.

Thank You for this... there is so very much richness and wisdom to be mined here... if I can just find the time to take the principles to heart and start practicing them I might very well achieve inner peace in this lifetime.

You are welcome (whoever you are); and thank you for sharing.
