Life Happens Without You

| The Tao Chapter 74 – My Fourth Interpretation|

As the saying goes, “the only constant is change.” So, this being true, why do you latch yourself to what is temporary?

As everyone knows, we are in physical form for but a while. So, this being true, why are you afraid to achieve?

Trying to control what has been out of your control since birth wastes energy and contributes to your sorrow. So why do it?

Assume the mind of a free glee-filled child and allow life to flow. It is happening right now. Are you allowing or resisting?

Embrace the flow, and marvel at this experience called life.

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.
