Just.Another.What?
Size. As many posts as I get around to posting
Age. Born at 3:30 on October 22nd.
Weight. I can write pretty heavy things at time, or something that is as light as a feather.
World meet my blog for all my writings.
I did the same thing after reading A Million Little Pieces a couple of years ago. One of my favorites, in Ursula Le Guin's version of Tao Te Ching: 22 Growing Downward
Be broken to be whole. Twist to be straight. Be empty to be full. Wear out to be renewed. Have little and gain much. Have much and get confused.
So wise souls hold to the one, and test all things against it.
Not showing themselves, they shine forth. Not justifying themselves, they're self-evident. Not praising themselves, they're accomplished. Not competing, they have in all the world no competitor.
What they used to say in the old days, "Be broken to be whole," was that mistaken? Truly, to be whole is to return.

I've read a few of these and they are really cool. It is one way to really live life. I'm glad you found it.
