xxiv: indulgence, originally uploaded by sparrowsfall.
Straighten yourself and you will not stand steady;
Display yourself and you will not be clearly seen;
Justify yourself and you will not be respected;
Promote yourself and you will not be believed;
Pride yourself and you will not endure.
These behaviours are wasteful, indulgent,
And so they attract disfavour;
Harmony avoids them.

I’m adding you to the links list on my blog, so I can actually remember to check this more often. Also, I enjoy rereading passages from the Tao Te Ching.
Hope you and Bonnie and the new kidlet are doing well these days!
