This fun new meme adventure just in from The Saltina.

[Side note:] In finding the nearest book to me, as I am sitting at my desk, I have disqualified reference books such as dictionary, thesaurus, etc.

1. Pick up the nearest book to you.
2. Find page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don’t search around and look for the “coolest” book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you.

“Only when [the flower] opens is beauty revealed in its center, for there is the focus of its exquisiteness, the source of its aroma, there is its sweet nectar.”
Chapter: Center
Book: 365 Tao, Daily Meditations, by Deng Ming – Dao

This was perfect for me right now. And I have to add the final sentence of the page.

“Unless we attain the center and keep to our progressions, we cannot ever reach true independence in our lives.”
