“Men are born soft and supple; dead, they are stiff and hard.
Plant are born tender and pliant; dead they are brittle and dry.
Thus whoever is stiff and inflexible is a disciple of death.
Whoever is soft and yielding is a disciple of life.
The hard and stiff will be broken.
The soft and supple will prevail. – Lao Tzu
An egg and potato are put into boiling water. The potato will soften while the egg will harden. Life has many pressures and heat it brings into ones life. What is the heat of life producing in you?
I am a retired Marine that has a passion for learning. I have been married for 27 years and have five children and 6 grandchildren.I am an avid reader, I love listening to podcasts and writing. It is my thought that today's schedules are far too busy. I hope to post writings, reviews that will take 5 minutes or less of your time. I hope you will join me on this journey to learning some of the things in life we might overlook.
