I feel drawn to come back to Tao wisdom again, as we are living in helter skelter times. The Tao te Ching is always grounding.
“Life is fleeting,
Tao is constant:
An eternal emptiness full of bursting”
Lao Tzu
Over the years I have come across many quotes from Lao Tzu that really resonated with me. Thanks to Kindle, I now have modern versions of the Tao te Ching as reference. This translation brings Tao into context for the world we live in today. It makes it accessible and easy to grasp.
Like Tao 101.
“Tao could be described as the ultimate essence of existence. However, once you find yourself in possession of a basic knowledge of Tao, you will quickly realize how silly it would be to attempt to define it…
While this mysterious oneness of which we are all a part may be impossible to understand or experience in its entirety, we spend our entire lives interacting with its physical manifestations. While everyday things like rocks, candy, shoes, etc. may seem mundane and simple, they are nevertheless an inseparable part of this great mystery of which we are all a part.”*
We interact with its physical manifestation and are all connected to the mystery.
I look forward to sharing more words of wisdom as I spend some time hanging out here.
