Clinging is Futile

| The Tao Chapter 55 – My Interpretation |

What does it mean to be aligned with the river of life? You trust the invisible hand for guidance; there is strength when you appear weak; your work is accomplished with ease and grace.

The wise know to choose alignment for it is freeing. The decision to cling to all things external is as futile as an attempt to grasp water.

Trust that life knows its  best path and release your contrived expectations.

As I read Stephen Mitchell’s translation of the Tao Te Ching daily, I reflect and document my interpretation with the intention of living the Tao.

Note: If you choose to use the link above to get a of the Tao, I will receive a small portion of the proceeds to contribute to my work. The  purpose of this post is not for you to buy the Tao  That is your choice. The purpose is to share my inspiration. That is my intention.
