Why Accept Change

| The Tao Chapter 29 – My Fourth Interpretation|

Do you accept that the one consistent constant in life is change? While change appears to happen in an instant, change is partnered with time.

Along the continuum of time, things change making the saying, “there is a time for everything,” true.

There is uncertainty, then one day certainty.
There is pain, then one day joy.
There is life, then one day passing.
There is sadness, then in an instant laughter.

Rather than attach yourself to any particular moment, accept that moments change with time and simply experience them with wonderment and gratitude. This approach offers you increased peace.

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.
