Auld Lang Syne

[zerostao]

 

 

My 2025 started off rough, by spring I attempted a move. Didn't work out.

Late summer, tried another move, didn't go as planned, yet, worked out in other ways.

Fall has been good.

Beginning this winter much better than a year ago.

Reflecting on 2025, personally,,, new found direction.

Looking at 2026,  looking forward.

Knowing, things continue to change.

 

I learned a new way to offer Cheers, salut, etc

And to all ya'lls bums, I raise my glass sans clinking

Formidable!!

Skål, God bless and thank you!

 

The journey continues!

After many years of practice, the slow spiraling movements of tai chi become part of one´s personality; the habit of deep diaphramatic breathing results in a remarkable steady calm.  No doubt this explains why Dao Bums forum members are unfailingly peaceful, remarkably free from the pugilistic impulses that characterize interaction in other corners of the intrawebs.  Our tendency towards good cheer and amiability was especially apparent in that area of the site, now defunct, known as "Current Events."  Did we always agree with one another?  We did not. But even when we found ourselves at extreme idiological odds, we never failed to recognize the humanity and basic good will of our fellows.  On that rare occasion when a post resulted in passing annoyance, we looked inward: what unresolved issue within us was responsible for this prick of discontent? Such is the way of the refined heart.

 

And so, with all the gratitude and warm fuzzies I can muster, I raise my glass to you my fellow Bums. May you saunter on into the expanse of the desert or the misty mountains or the bathroom down the hall, wherever your path may lead.

 

Happy New Year!!!
