Happy Birthday
to the
thoughtful caring dancing
father

Michael Travers

And blessing to the home with familiar elements of former homes.
Blessings on the formation of a new home.
Thoughts go to memories of much good cheer.

The Hearth of a lovely home

~~~

“One who knows does not speak; one who speaks does not know.
Block the openings;
Shut the doors.
Blunt the sharpness;
Untangle the knots;
Soften the glare;
Let your wheels move only along old ruts.
This is known as mysterious sameness.
Hence you cannot get close to it, nor can you keep it at arms length;  you cannot bestow benefit on it, nor can you do it harm; you cannot ennoble it nor can you debase it.
Therefor it is valued.”
Lau Tzu – LVI

Lao Tzu, photography, quote, rain, Texture

today a rainy day. soft clops of rain.
find presence and solace the world suggests.
I will sit, I will sleep, I will dream – without thought.

soft rain

“Hence some things lead and some follow;
Some breahte gently and some breahte hard;
Some are strong and some are weak;
some destroy and some are destroyed.
…

…
Therefore the sage avoids excess, extravagance, and arrogance.”
Lao Tzu – XXIX

Birthday, Cumulus, Lao Tzu, photography, quote, Salutation

a glorious Birthday greeting to you.
Go, enjoy and continue to bring Joy.

Wandering Cumulous Humilis

whatever tumultuous currents seethe within, the road is wide.
and tumbling the laughing continues effervescent

~~~

“The Tao is the asylum of all things … in winning people one can accomplish more by kindness. Why should a man be thrown away for his evil?…

Better than being in the presence of the Emperor and riding with four horses, is sitting and explaining this Tao.

The reason the Ancients esteemed Tao was because if sought it was obtained… the world honors Tao.”

Lao Tzu – LXII
