Tag: essential Taoist wisdom
This year I am revisiting the Tao. It was life changing for me many years ago when I first journeyed (journaled) my way through it. At the time, I actually had someone ask me, “How are you handling this so well?” I know I am still learning and growing. I love this part of life. I encourage you, to begin a wisdom practice if you haven’t already. Do something that creates wonder and awe in your life. Keep in mind: in the still and quiet times, magic occurs. The magic is a spark, a seed, a hope, a dream that carries you through the mundane, the tumultuous, the tedious, the challenging times each day can hold.
Our role, then, is the role of the sage, which is to act in accordance with nature rather than to resist nature. Lao-Tzu, the Old Master of Taoism, condensed the human struggle into the prose of the “Tao Te Ching.” It’s a simple book that after 2500+ years still manages to serve as a salient guide to living well. For those who understand it, it offers a way of being that helps keep the madness of change at bay. #taoistwisdom
