Thanks, and a little thought from the Tao

Best wishes to all for Thanksgiving. I’ll be in St. Joe MI with the extended fam.

I’d list all the people for whom I’m grateful this time around, but I could never get them … all of you … in. Family, friends new and old, work, neighbors, leaders, and people who I’ve never met in person. Anyone who makes the world a slightly more positive and interesting place. All the folks who have been incredibly kind and generous with me. All that, plus the world as a whole.

I remain constant in my belief that I’m one of the most fortunate people I’ve ever met. For that, I’m deeply grateful.

And now, my daily Tao reading turned up this gem:

When the Tao is lost, there is goodness.
When goodness is lost, there is morality.
When morality is lost, there is ritual.
Ritual is the spent husk of faith,
and the seed of chaos.
