2004 … Living with Lao Tsu

Seeing as how I was essentially living in a large bookstore, time not spent writing or conversing was spent reading. And it was sometime this year when I became re-acquainted with – and more deeply comprehending of – the words of Lao Tsu (purported author of the Tao Te Ching) …

“A good traveler has no fixed goals or plans, and is never intent on arriving. Similarly, a scholar who cherishes the love of ease or comfort is not fit to be deemed a true scholar. Know that at the center of your being you have the answer; you already know who you truly are and you fully know what you want to become.” ~ via Lao Tsu
