Retreat!!

What's behind Door Number One?

So I find myself "in retreat" for much of the last bunch of weeks, which means taking a step back, scratching my head, cursing, moaning, remembering, cheering, collapsing in exhaustion, waking up, and getting myself back on track.

Not necessarily in that order, or any immediately discernible one. Mix and match and stew. Repeat as necessary.

Thus grand vision posts of year-past and year-to-come are withheld until further notice. I.e.: "When it's finished."

For now, enjoy this vision of ass-kicking moderation:

The mark of a moderate man
is freedom from his own ideas.
Tolerant like the sky,
all-pervading like sunlight,
firm like a mountain,
supple like a tree in the wind,
he has no destination in view
and makes use of anything
life happens to bring his way.
- Tao Te Ching
