The Tao of Lao-tzu

To be worn out is to be renewed.

"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"

"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"

"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.

Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said.

"What is that?" the Unbeliever asked.

"Wisdom from a Western Taoist," I said.

"It sounds like something from Winnie-the-Pooh," he said.

"It is," I said.

"That's not about Taoism," he said.

"Oh, yes it is," I said.

"No, it's not," he said.

"What do you think it's about?" I said.

"It's about this dumpy little bear that wanders around asking silly questions, making up songs, and going through all kinds of adventures, without ever accumulating any amount of intellectual knowledge or losing his simpleminded sort of happiness. That's what it's about," he said.

"Same thing," I said.

My 19 month old daughter got a cold 3 weeks ago. My wife and I got a stomach flu last week. My daughter picked it up on Friday and was up all night last night vomiting.

To be worn out is to be worn out.

I am Pooh.

Be the Pooh.

To be worn out is to be warm in.

Very cool, Carina. Thanks.

There are only two questions in this entire experience.

Did you see that??

everything else follows those two questions.
