So many things that were once important to me, just aren't anymore. I always tell people (usually young people) when they are agonizing about the changes they are facing (or the ruts they are in), that nothing is permanent. Nothing. And in the letting go (of the fears, the attachments, the passions, the objects), comes such freedom.<br /><br />They say that the rigorous immortality practices of Taoism are best approached by people who are beyond all the worldly demands of children, family, work, etc. I think that's true.<br /><br />Not that my house isn't full of a lot of junk I need to clear. And not that I don't delight in wu xia movies and wine. But my mind is pretty clear.baroness radonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593108634484542286noreply@blogger.com
