Remain Open

| The Tao Chapter 12 – My Fourth Interpretation|

What you see may not be what you want to see in the moment, but it will change.

What you hear right now may run counter to what you want, but it will change.

Unfulfilled desire disappoints, but desires change.

All things change, so emotional fixation on the immediate is unwise.

Put down the obstacle of what you think should be.  It clouds your mind.

Allow the process of change to flow because it will, and change will come.

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.
