Analects

I had a great long weekend in Boston. But I was sort of out of touch from news and the net. I hope nothing happened in the last 3 days.

I've been reading The Analects ("sayings") of Confucius.  "Confucius," by the way, is a latinized version of Kǒng Fūzǐ, or Master Kong.

This is my favorite from today's reading:

"If a man takes no thought for what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand."

Ignore what is afar
and you'll find the things you fear 
are 
near.
