“Iola Pond” - A place I once lived
Weekly Tao Te Ching
CHAPTER 48
Information is not wisdom. The more information we gain, the more we assume we know. The more we assume we know, the less we see clearly.
In the practice of the Tao, we rely less and less on what is called, “information,” and more and more on knowing “nothing;” until at last we cease our fruitless efforts at the illusion of control, and things unfold according to their nature.
Ourselves included.

“I am asking whether Christianity, in its most sublime and revolutionary state, always demands an act of betrayal from the Faithful. In short, is Christianity, at its most radical, always marked by a kiss, forever forsaking itself, eternally at war with its own manifestation.”

Most people don’t grow up. Most people age. They find parking spaces, honor their credit cards, get married, have children, and call that maturity. What that is, is aging.

“I’m sure I am wrong about many things, although I’m not sure exactly which things I’m wrong about. I’m even sure I’m wrong about what I think I’m right about in at least some cases.”
