Just packing my last bits before heading off, having to be ruthless as my backpack is only so big, and it's just that and my usual 'handbag' for the next ten days. Warm clothes prevail as it's prdeicted -5 Friday night at the hut... Decided to leave at home the rather lovely Rococo chocolates someone had bought me. A moment later, randomly opening 'The Inner Teachings of Taoism' (Trans. Thomas Cleary) which I am taking with me; of course the first thing I read was this:
Do not crave fine food.
Superior people plan for the Way, not for food;
Inferior people nurture the palate, not the mind.
