The Art of Living

| The Tao Chapter 74 – My Fifth Interpretation|

Accept that change is always happening around and you without you. Even now, your cells are being replaced, your blood is being transported and somewhere in the world birth and death are occurring.

Accept that change is always happening, allow it to be and release the burden of trying to control Life’s flow.

If you can accept that change is always happening without you, then you can begin to master the art of living.

LIVING THE TAO: Time and again the Tao reminds you to surrender your desire to control Life’s flow. You control neither life nor death, so enjoy the journey. Engage with what Life puts before you without creating the strife of wanting to direct it—because after all, you didn’t put the circumstance before you, Life did.

In 2018 my focus was to intentionally live the Tao Te Ching. Now I continue into 2019 with my fifth reading. I share my daily interpretations hoping to inspire you to do the same.

Embrace your journey. Experience bliss. Live the Tao.
