Well, today I still have no new hits on my web page,
there is no primary negative charisma modulation
of Putin, and I have a sore throat, so evolution
of pathogenic viruses has not yet occurred. So
obviously I have failed again. But contrary to
what I said above, I will try again this evening
during early waning gibbous moon (Waning Clamshell).
Sounds like a dao to me. The dao
that is, isn't. At least it isn't always.
Nor is the dao that are put into words
which reminds me of a practice.
Unusual practices could be dao. Ways
are ways and yet if there were one
to solve the world's problems, if
could be followed by only if.
The world may be viewed as a sacred
or spiritual, shen, type of thing.
Phenomenal, naturally, a wonder.
Left alone, supposedly, it would be
fine and take care of its own self.
Stirring the mud keeps it muddy.
There's nothing wrong with mud.
Water doesn't mind getting dirty.
People do as they do. They fight
and think and learn as they are
taught self-perpetuating myths.
I'm not seeing any end in sites.
At least, not any time soon.
So, to change my point of view
might be a plan at many times.
Like now, for example. Now is
or can be said to be always
present and unfolding zi-ran.
Yet, if it is a dao,
as with all the other dao,
it isn't always. Time enters
the great present like water
making dirt muddy.
- thanks! aye. Cheers!
