Exploring a new world...

I've become a member in the local library and 'am trying out new books/authors. This I may not have done back home. I randomly picked up a book and it turned out to be something fictional but with a philosophical bent. Don't blame me. The book is called 'The Journeys of Socrates" and is set in Russia. It has caught my mind quite a bit due to its spiritual flavour. Sample this...


"Courtesy is often mistaken to be weakness or fear". Why! Tell me more! :)


A quote from a Zen master....


"Softness triumphs over hardness. Gentleness over strength. The flexible over the immovable. This is the principle of controlling things by going along with them, of mastery over adaptation"
