Very artistic! Light and to the heart of that which is heavy. Both as the way forward.
Also just found this jewel too:
“When I look inside and see that I am nothing, that is wisdom. When I look outside and see that I am everything, that is love. And between these two, my life flows.”
Thank you, Brother Tom! From the Isha Upanishad... Everything is perfect. When we take a little bit away from perfection, all that remains is perfect. We are at once expanding, contracting, full, empty, everything, nothing. Love is all that.
Love finding others studying and reading the way. This resource is the best I've found to deepen: he compares many different translations and gives very insightful commentary on the current context of the world:https://taoismreimagined.substack.com/
Thank you so much for sharing! I love hearing about your dad + I love this:
"What if we practice resilience and laughter together? What if we notice the weight we’ve been carrying and—just for a moment—share the cosmic joke? Not to dismiss suffering, but to remember: we’re still here. We’re alive. We have our will. And in life’s school of ups, downs, battles, and tragedies, we are not destroyed if we choose to rise.
And because we rise… maybe we are saving the world after all."

beautiful wisdom from the tao:
See the world as your self.
Have faith in the way things are.
Love the world as your self,
then you can care for all things.
Isn't it perfect guidance? From Stephen Mitchell's translation in verse 13. Thank you for taking a moment to be here!
