This was in my mailbox when I got home:

There is no calamity greater than lavish desires.
There is no greater guilt than discontentment.
And there is no greater disaster than greed.

Is the universe trying to smack me over the head with a brick? Is one of my neighbours trying to keep our imminent rent war in mind? Or was it intended for someone else?

I don't know.

And I'm not sure I understand that quote but I didn't understand it when I read the Tsao Te Ching either...

I kinda like the brick theory. your horoscopes of late support this theory. *eg*.

But then, I'm not known for my subtlety. OR my sensitivity. I tend to need bricks thrown at my head occasionally. Though even then, I try to dodge 'em.

P.

very neat incident though. Clearly SOMETHING mystical is going on.
