tao of the day

Mou [...] expressed his sadness to Zhan Tzu, who told him "Let go of these feelings or they may harm you".

"I have tried and I just can't," explained Mou.

"In that case," said Zhan Tzu, "give them full expression and weep, for to repress a powerful emotion is to inflict a double injury upon oneself. Those who do this do not live long."

(Freke)

tao, depths of despair, depression

When are you coming to AZ again? I miss you! Ragfest at my house! I'll send the kids to Nana's. ;)

I won't be back for the same reason as last time - my work isn't doing the Fernley exchange anymore. So I have no idea! I haven't been to Michigan to see my family in almost 4 years now, so that's one of the next person-oriented travel trips on my list. Hoping I'll make it there while my grandma is still alive and malcontent (but I repeat myself).
