Just another thought on this

Just another thought on this fine post, it is so hard to break one's cultural bonds.

It took me years and years to get out of the Roman Catholic Church, for chrissakes!

The same goes with breaking other cultural bonds like political parties and schools of thought!!

Thanks, cmaukonen, for

Thanks, cmaukonen, for sharing.

(1 John 1:7) ⁷ However, if we are walking in the light as he himself is in the light, we do have a sharing with one another. . .

A Short Testament

Whatever harm I may have done
in all my life
in all your wide creation
if I cannot repair it
I beg you to repair it

And then there are all the wounded
the poor the deaf the lonely and the old
Whom I have roughly dismissed
As if I were not one of them.
Where I have wronged them by it
And cannot make amends
I ask you
To comfort them to overflowing,

And where there are lives
I may have withered around me
Or lives of strangers far or near
That I've destroyed in blind complicity,
And if I cannot find them
Or have no way to serve them,

Remember them.
I beg you to remember them
When winter is over
And all your unimaginable promises
Burst into song
on death's bare branches
-- Anne Porter

Nice translation of Tao. Do you have a link to it?

A cocoon sounds pleasant....warm....sheltered...dreamtime....

I wish I could remember how it felt. Wordsworth must have been right that 'our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting'.
