Allow the Process

| The Tao Chapter 29 – My Fifth Interpretation|

There is a time for everything.

As circumstances pass through time, attempting to fix them is wasted energy.

Wrestling against rest when it is time for rest; subduing action when it is action’s time; rushing ahead when it is time to slow down; forcing the outcome during the time of process. It is all foolish!

Allow all things to happen in their time.

Let wisdom guide you in the calm embrace of the knowing that time cannot be controlled.

Allow Life to flow as it will.

LIVING THE TAO: Are you consumed with making things happen the way you want them to? You are creating unnecessary suffering for yourself and possibly others. Let things work themselves out and relive yourself of the stress and the possible strain on your heart.

My 2018 focus is to intentionally live the Tao Te Ching. This is my fifth reading of Stephen Mitchell’s translation. I share my daily interpretations hoping to inspire you to do the same. Embrace your journey. Experience bliss. Live the Tao.
