Granny just had ten days in respite. I picked her up earlier and brought her home, she was happy to see me, happy to leave and tells me she had a happy time. Unpacking her stuff I found the following letter, to me, entitled 'What is going on?'
'How dare you manipulate me - sending me off as you have done so. I am utterly furious treating me as if I am a bloody imbecile. Why? All expenses incurred by my stay away will be paid by you. Don't you, for one moment, think that I have gone gugga - what have you been doing in my house whilst I have been away? I don't think I want you living with me any more.
You must have a conscience, otherwise you would have consulted me.
Never in my life have I had to experience the state of mind that I am in at the moment.
G'
Always nice to be appreciated.

The great Tao flows everywhere.
All things are born from it,
yet it doesn't create them.
It pours itself into its work,
yet it makes no claim.
It nourishes infinite worlds,
yet it doesn't hold on to them.
Since it is merged with all things
and hidden in their hearts,
it can be called humble.
Since all things vanish into it
and it alone endures,
it can be called great.
It isn't aware of its greatness;
thus it is truly great.
