ZEN

No matter how bad a state of mind you may get into, if you keep strong and hold out, eventually the floating clouds must vanish and the withering wind must cease. - Dogen

A bit of Zen wisdom to start my day. I think the clouds are fixin' to clear and the winds are getting less intense. They're still with me, but as each day comes I feel a little more at peace. TBTG.

I'm going to finish reading "Lonesome Dove" and I hate to see it end. It's such a good book. So interesting, so deep, so well written. Nothin' better than a good peice of literature in my mind.

I feel calm, if a little weak yet. It's o.k. I've a roof over my head and enough food to eat. Goodness knows I've got enough clothing to wear as my overflowing laundry hamper will attest to. It's all good in one way or another.
