123

Cyndi Clack tagged me today with this:
The rules of this game:
Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. No cheating!
Find Page 123.
Find the first 5 sentences.
Post the next 3 sentences.
Tag 5 people.
I don't know the origins of this meme, if you know, tell me in the comments.

The book closest to me right now is God's Breath: Sacred Scriptures of the World, so this should be interesting. So...page 123...ok, there are no sentences on this page since it is taken from the Tao Te Ching, so I will go with lines instead:
"no wrong is greater than discontent
no curse crueler than getting what you want
the contentment of being content is true contentment indeed"
So there you have it. Wisdom for the day.

Since this is an easy one, I'll tag people:

Cindy at Run With It
Barry at Honest Faith
Rob at The Spyglass
Happy at A Fundamental Shift
Donna at her MySpace

  1. Consider it done. :)

    BTW, your quote there reminded me of this song, which I realized I've somehow forgotten to post as a song of the week. I'll have to rectify that.

  6. i did it. i'll get you for this.
    I know, I'll email you every time the temp goes over 60. and I'll rub it in. Ruby is outside playing basketball in shorts right now. It's no more than 40 out there, but that's all I've got right now. You just wait- we're expecting 70 next week. (insert evil laugh here)
    :-D

  8. Cindy - Good gracious, why the animosity over a random meme? You just wanted an excuse to tease me about the weather. ;-)
