A Closer Look at Tao
Purposefully, the Daodejing does not define Tao. In fact, it specifically states it as undefinable, unable to be named. Yet it also describes Tao as an empty bowl, unable to be filled. It says the Tao is intangible but the source of all things, tangible and intangible.

Goals
“If you have no goals, everything you do is success.” - from the Daodejing, Chapter 22.
Yesterday I talked with a young man who was looking for a job. He went to great lengths explaining how he has all his goals and ambitions in order. Read more
Joined the Tai’Chi Network
I saw an ad on Facebook for www.drtaichi.com and noticed it was by David-Dorian Ross, who has quite an impressive background in the area. I actually have a DVD by him (if I remember right, it came with a little red rubber, sand filled ball that is slightly larger than a baseball. Although I don’t know where it is since I hid it from my cats so they wouldn’t puncture it somehow) on beginner’s tai’chi.
So I decided to sign up and see what I could see. The first thing I did was sign up for the mailing list then I joined the social network that has been set up through SocialGo.
Although it’s currently very small, I think it’s a fun idea and has a lot of potential. If you’re interested in tai’chi, I recommend this site as it’s purpose is to bring together people who are interested in the subject. I believe Mr. Ross is sincere in his desires to educate and connect others with something that has obviously been a central passion in his life.
There are various levels of membership, starting at FREE, all the way up to a (as of now proposed) Student membership where you are able to interact directly with an instructor as you have more of an online school experience.
From making new friends to having a structured learning experience, this seems like a good place for those new to tai’chi as well as experienced practitioners.
Unyielding vs. Adaptable
The understanding that being flexible rather than steadfast would seem to be a obviously simple concept. It’s been observed throughout recorded history.
