There is a zen motto somewhere about,

“Entrust your work of the day to the weather and let it grow in wind blown places, or open windows.”

A friend of mine always asked if we were supposed to open our windows and trust the wind.

I told her it depends upon whether it’s the depth of a winter blizzard, or a hurricane is coming. Intensity matters.

You did well to take a break, Medium's algorithm has been slowly disappointing many writers. Thank you for sharing these thoughts, Patrick. I like reading about Tao and how it relates to our comings and goings.

I'm so glad that you know how to take care of yourself. Seriously, I'm glad you haven't been around. It has been really difficult since July 2024.
