Time

Time is an interesting thing. I almost missed my meeting today because I was looking at the wrong clock.
I think NTP is running slow, and I believe there may be a Timelord involved. Not a good idea to mess with a Timelord. They are not our friends. They don’t have friends, really. Trust issues.

Twenty-Nine

Do you think you can take over the universe and improve it?
I do not believe it can be done.

The universe is sacred.
You cannot improve it.
If you try to change it, you will ruin it.
If you try to hold on to it, you will lose it.

So sometimes things are ahead and sometimes they are behind;
Sometimes breathing is hard, sometimes it comes easily;
Sometimes there is strength, and sometimes weakness;
Sometimes one is up and sometimes down.

Therefore the sage avoids extremes, excesses, and complacency.
