Embrace Tao and you will move effortlessly with the world.
At peace, you will generate peace.
The pleasures of life seem emphasized against their backdrop,
But the ubiquitous presence of Tao
Is encompassing to the extent that it goes unnoticed.
It is not seen with eyes.
It is not heard with ears.
It can never be exhausted with use.*
~ Lao Tzu
May we bring attention to that which is not noticed, but ignites us all ☯

In a similar vein Val, smiling as I read this and glance at a tapestry of Our Lady of Peace on a nearby wall. 🙂
