The FB ones needs an admin approval to participate; if you are interested and on FB I can do that for you.<br /><br />I sometimes pop in to Tao Bums, but it is not as intertesting to me.<br /><br />Thanks for you comment. I enjoy our dialogue very much. You and Cym always give me great hope for the future.baroness radonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593108634484542286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682667907091260643.post-30578916668513523282012-03-31T14:54:47.111-10:002012-03-31T14:54:47.111-10:00I also like the give and take of discussion, I fin...I also like the give and take of discussion, I find that's the whole point of blogging/posting about this stuff. If I wanted to be isolated in my thought, I'd write in a paper journal and never tell anyone. I used to hope for more discussion on TRT, but it rarely happened. And some of the posts continually bothered me, namely the Tao-Bible comparisons. I don't even read them, when I visit the site, which is far less than I used to. Kinda "off" the spiritual thing for now. <br /><br />I wonder what forums you're visiting.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704525078859327898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682667907091260643.post-41771505621673466592012-03-25T18:34:13.607-10:002012-03-25T18:34:13.607-10:00I am so blessed with such good friends...I'd l...I am so blessed with such good friends...I'd like to meet you all some day!baroness radonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593108634484542286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682667907091260643.post-92107693557521531232012-03-25T15:33:51.388-10:002012-03-25T15:33:51.388-10:00Well Jie Jie...there are always opinions and ideas...Well Jie Jie...there are always opinions and ideas being presented... and then there are observations offering far more what mere word and opinion can convey. And you, my Baroness, do as much for me. Entangle me not with Kool-Aide Taoisms and call it Tao, nor with Confucius and Old Testament Law while being ignorant of the sweet smell of Grace. ....okay - got that of my chest! Hey! You're alright with me!tao1776https://www.blogger.com/profile/13829911813257886445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682667907091260643.post-31351870399542222092012-03-25T09:11:22.501-10:002012-03-25T09:11:22.501-10:00Of course, this post wasn't really directed at...Of course, this post wasn't really directed at any of my readers of the TAO 61s, it derived from a "dialogue" on the other blog. But I am happy that you have enjoyed reading my "insights into the mundane." I like that, must remember it. Thank you for being a regular reader. Likewise, the glimpses into your own life have given me much to think about; we all live in the same place, but our experiences are so different. How the internet has enabled us to expand our consciousness!<br /><br />I wasn't so much doubting my self as wondering if I was just wasting time in the other venue.

For one thing, I wouldn't know HALF or even just one iota of what I've learned from you about the Chinese culture and language. I really LOVE your paintings, as well as your insights into the most mundane things that I might not have ever given a second thought to, in general.<br />However, I didn't start commenting here because of what you OFFERED me - I started commenting here because I enjoy what you have to say and appreciate your take on life in general. I certainly never thought I'd "get" anything out of it, and yet - I have.<br />In short - you're a kickass person and I am mighty glad I've "met" you.<br />:)sybil lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13629349319977383547noreply@blogger.com
