The highest good is like water

AO: the_eddy
Q: Wolfpack
PAX: Stubs, FLO, Choo Choo, Legos, Jon King
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
CONDITIONS: Let’s go ahead and hit pause on the morning temp. 72 is perf for a ruck

WARMUP: “The highest good is like water.”

THE THANG: Rucked across the road to Percy and back. Strava says 3.38km today. Only 22m elevation gain. Easy peasy.

MOLESKINE: Too many spiderwebs in the front row for my taste.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Slack… check it!

COT: I’m another year wiser today and anytime I need some Wisdom I pull out the Tao Te Ching. Here’s my favorite and most meaningful chapter:

Chapter 8
The highest good is like water
Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive
It flows in places men reject and so is like the Tao
In dwelling, be close to the land
In meditation, go deep in the heart
In speech, be true
In ruling, be just
In business, be competent
In action, be aware of the time and season
No Fight
No Blame
