Your topic title does not match your opening topic. Dao is not a religion. A friend put it this way: Tao is the spiritual space, where one has complete freedom of mind, but can still work to do what needs to be done. It is a depth in which one does not get disappointed easily. I yield to others to address your topic regarding daoism. warm regards

Wanted to change out one word in a post, about a half hour later, for one that better conveyed, and guess what popped up. What's the scoop, troops? Edit test

DDJ29 Do you think you can take over the universe and improve it? I do not believe it can be done. The universe is sacred. You cannot improve it. If you try to change it, you will ruin it. If you try to hold it, you will lose it. ... ZZ had good shoulders to stand on.

Could be. Did you ever have a Marblebrain account? That would be an interesting merge.

Thanks!!

When I asked dawei to change my nick to WuDao, I'd forgotten that was one I'd used for a coulpe years five years ago. All he could do was merge the two accounts, and in the process my post count went from 8700 to 1400. 7300 posts deleted in one push of the button! Love it!! Course, I could always ask the NSA to restore them but there was nothing in them that needs preserving, heh. ZZ said it best: Springtime in every moment.

I recently uploaded 2 pics in a forum thread, and want to also put them in my PPF. Tried the copy/paste route but only got the .jpg line. Is there a way to copy the pics over without having to re-upload? Thanks! p.s.Stosh..I saw your question but had no help. mine is a samsung 6, maybe your version cant utilize this app. Best, rene

Very pretty! Our back yard is still construction zone, lol

Two years ago, when I first met Tom, he'd lived up here for 8 yrs with no electricity/water/sewage. First years he built a 16x20 cabin, by hand, by himself. Woodstove heat, propane cooktop. Hauled general use water from a nearby lake in barrels, gathered rainwater, filled drinking water jugs at friends. That was our life, first year. (-: Then we married and decided to make this our home forever, so we'd need it easier soon (we're both in our 60s) so March last year we had a well drilled (200' through solid granite) and a septic system installed (the scars are almost grown back in with wildflowers!) and installed a solar system. Yay! Also built an addition, with a bathroom & bedroom, by hand, together. Sorry such a long answer. We're still off-grid, closest neighbour half mile away, have to plow our way out in winter & harvest, cut, split 7 cord of wood for winter - but those last two things we can hire out when we're old & feeble.

thats cause you dont have any buttons to push. well, ok, maybe one. or two.

Very nice! There's some big heavy stones in there. Did you build this, Brian? Here's a pic leading to our front door off to the left.. we live pretty small & simple, just a cabin off-grid, peaceful. (-:

wha?? and not the leaning thing? ok ok, I'll play nice.
-
glad i could help (-:
-
if you dont lean back so far, that wont happen my 'both, same time' refers to something else; but yours sounds like a good idea too! no star wars reference, from a galaxy far far away no. i have declined into almost a vanishing mist. (-: yay you! this is a wonderful place to grow and decline. you know: Both, same time. warm regards

Outta beer...but do have some 18yo Chivas.. Our steps, front landings & retaining walls are of the same large stone; we just finished building the patio. All stones from our mountain; lotta work to haul & build by hand. Your grass looks better than our new lawn, which 2wks ago was mud.
-
Are you on our patio?
-
Kids are such great reminders.
-
not juggling, thats akin to hopping on one foot then the other rather than standing on both, same time, two places seemingly opposing, but unboundaried ideas aren't warm regards
-
hi oranssi anybody who can do 'both, same time' is fine by me. (-: welcome!
-
Oh my... thanks for reposting; I had no idea.

As one who has recently changed her avatar, and nick; and who now almost cant recall breakfast, let alone yesterday; I find Stosh's logic to be stellar. My vote is to allow no editing at all. If nothing else - more care might be taken at the moment of typing, to choose our words more carefully, to take the time to consider wtf we are actually conveying - since we cant take it back. Bells cant be unrung. We owe each other, and ourselves, the same honest and thoughtful effort. Typos and all. warm regards

Give it time; we have faith.
