Meetings, the Tao thereof

Meetings fall on the sage's day like gentle rain.
A good meeting is like a marsh or pond.
A bad meeting is like a swamp.
There is little difference between a good meeting
and a bad meeting.

Those who know, do not know.

The sage, his use of words

The sage uses arcane words like "gustatory."
He uses them incorrectly.

Tao Te Ching, Part 2

The sage's shoes are too big for his feet.
Sometimes one falls off.
Does he stop to put it back on?
Not necessarily.
Shoes are like water. Feet are like fish.

Bureaucratic musings

Our process

Our process is iterative, mutually reactive, trusting, rapid--like elves making love...without the high-pitched screeches.
