Can You Be Benevolent?

| The Tao Chapter 59 – My Third Interpretation|

Can you be tolerant like the sky? It accepts all manner of birds not rejecting any for being too small, too short, too colorful, or too anything. Can you be accepting in this way?

Can you be firm like a mountain but fluid like water—strong in your foundational beliefs yet flexible enough to allow variance?

Finally, can you be open to obstacles as opportunities, recognizing through acceptance and allowance, that challenges can be reframed for good?

With a flexible mind and a strong connection to your Source, it becomes apparent that the betterment of life for all is possible.

LIVING THE TAO: Today, consider whose idea you are rejecting because it does not align with yours then begin to ponder this: where is the seed of similarity? Once you find it, start there—the place of opportunity. Begin to cultivate a solution the connects to your commonalities.

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