Being

| The Tao Chapter 56 – My Fourth Interpretation|

Let your feet be firm. Be strong about your affirming belief in who you are.

Let your mind and heart be sound. Be non-harmful to yourself in your thoughts so that your emotions will lift you.

Let your tongue be steady. Be consistent in your display of affirming behavior toward yourself and others.

Let your life be fluid. Be receptive of guidance on your path despite your plan.

It is in this being that you are able to endure.

LIVING THE TAO: Today, I invite you to reflect on the first, second and third interpretations along with this fourth and ask, are there any shifts you are prepared to make today in relation to aligning with the art of living as shared in the Tao?

My 2018 focus is to intentionally live the Tao Te Ching. This is my fourth 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.
