Thanks for the comments guys Janet ------------------------------------------------------- Janet Jackson <[log in to unmask]> Poems at Proximity: http://www.arach.net.au/~huxtable/janet/proximity.html "When one acts in accord with the time, the yang energy is expansive, like thunder going out of the earth and rising forcefully into the sky, startling an area of a hundred miles with its rumble, so that all demons flee. The life-giving potential continues increasing, and the earth is always covered with yellow sprouts, the world blooms with golden flowers. Wherever one may walk, everywhere is the Tao. No happiness is more delightful than this." Liu I-ming, trans. Thomas Cleary -------------------------------------------------------
