nto as so much a rant, btu on fluff, cookies and pie, putting one's foot in one;s mouth, and beign frstrated by the way.
Quote2
WHEN all the world recognizes beauty as beauty,
this in itself is ugliness.
When all the world recognizes good as good, this in
itself is evil.
Indeed, the hidden and the manifest give birth to each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short exhibit each other.
High and low set measure to each other.
Voice and sound harmonize each other.
Back and front follow each other.
Therefore, the Sage manages his affairs without ado,
And spreads his teaching without talking.
He denies nothing to the teeming things.
He rears them, but lays no claim to them.
He does his work, but sets no store by it.
He accomplishes his task, but does not dwell upon it.
And yet it is just because he does not dwell on it
That nobody can ever take it away from him.
-lao tzu, translated by C. H. Wu(shambhala pocket edition.)

edit: to reiterate and stab forth at the meaning i was perhaps partialyl tryign to get at, umm, forcign thigns isn't the way to go abotu doing it i guess, especialyl when it coems tothign sliekcookeis and pie. i guess. it's a group effort, in a way, and uh more.
reason i left the quote was becaus ei don't care to full y explain, and uh yeah. well uh yeah./
I usually think the balance between fluff and semiserious here is pretty good
And by the way, the I have no more childhood left? mix rocks.
Enough about cookies and pie - does anyone want a jelly baby?
