Thanks for this sound advice, Diamond-Michael. We can all be little spots of sanity. I try to do this, and when I meet others who do as well I point it out and thank them.

"Unlike the political shouting matches masquerading as discourse or the doom-scrolling that leaves you hollow and exhausted, Taoist alchemy isn’t about fighting external forces. It’s about transmuting the raw energy of the world—rage, fear, division—into something refined, useful, and powerful."

Trust in the expansive and abundant Tao!

For the next few days, I’m studying Verse 8 of the Tao Te Ching—among the first in which Lao Tzu reminds us of our innate relationship with and connection to water. Your post today, and my study of Ch. 8, synchronistically resonates: Alchemical Food for the Soul. Thank you Diamond-Michael.
