Walking With Laozi: Chapter 2
The better part of the day had been spent walking in silence, which gave me time to think. Then I would remember that I think too much and I would try to walk without thinking of anything. This led to me thinking about keeping my mind empty and that wasn’t working at all. However it did serve to distract me from the sights along the road as I passed by them. I began to think that the more I tried to get the point, the more I was missing it.
Walking With Laozi: Chapter 1
Introduction: This is the first installment in a series inspired by my understanding of the Daodejing (Tao Te Ching). I don’t have the ability to read the original text in its original language, but I have 25+ different translations as well as having read books that do go into character by character discussions.
I am certainly not the first person to write a series based on their perceptions of this Taoist text, nor do I claim my insights to be radically different than any that have occurred before me. My goal is to simply share the wisdom I have found here and present it in a manner that is enjoyable to read.
