I agree with the application of that parable. I think I got it from a book on Taoism many many years ago. Sometimes its easier than others to remind myself of that principle. I'm so very happy to be the conduit to bring you what I feel is the best type of philosophy - something that can be applied to live a better life.
And congratulations on the new house! That is so exciting! I hope we get to visit there some day. We are also getting ready to move also. But, since we haven't decided where we're going to live when we grow up, we're still renting. :-)
