No problem, zero. I'm still at work, so I'll be able to look that stuff up and link you to it when I get home.

I knew that (Taoist = "dao-ist"). I'm down with the Tao Te Ching. I've been reading it daily.

It sounds like you've done a lot of work on yourself, and good for you for getting back on track early in life. It sounds as if you've done a great thing for yourself, not to mention gained valuable life experience in the process.

Though to some it sounds odd, I am grateful that I've had rough things happen. As I'd written in one of my poems, I'm strongest where I'm scarred.
