Thursday Tao

I was given "365 Tao: Daily Meditations" by a very thoughtful friend and it is a really interesting book.

So I decided to add a new weekly feature THURSDAY TAO.

Today's is:

Stand at the precipice,
That existential darkness,
And call into the viod:
It will surely answer.


The meaning being that the void should not be scary but rather regarded as being filled with possibilities. The darkness is not necessarily bad but an opportunity to move on to better things.

"This is the affirmation of our exisistence, the affirmation that we are on the right path."
