I spent 5 years as a nomadic traveler searching for meaning and a better balance in my life. I found that. But when I got off the road I was without purpose. What was I supposed to do with what I learned? I had no idea until I started reading your posts that it was preparation for these times we find ourselves in. I’m much more prepared to weather this than I knew. Thanks for helping me see the forest.
Yes, that’s “The Way.” A great book you may find valuable relative to this theme is “The Great Work of Your Life” by Stephen Cope. Can’t recommend it enough.
This is the second book in a row about Lao Tzu and the Tao Te Ching you've talked about that I now want to read.
As much as what I've read of the Tao Te Ching beautiful, I've found much of it hard to grasp, at least when I read it in my twenties. I don't remember who authored it. But I'm going to keep a lookout for this book and the one you reviewed in your last post.
What do you think Lao Tzu would make of the connections people are creating on Substack? I wonder if there would be a bit of a smile and if on occasion you might see a post or two from him?
That's what I was thinking too… And hoping! I have a feeling he would like it here. He would contribute here. And he would subscribe to your page… I have no doubt about that! You both would have great conversations!
Yes, Lao Tsu's quiet rebellion has been speaking to me. It rings true and resonates in me, as do your words today. I'm saying yes to the quiet dimness, following the Way Lao Tsu pointed to long ago.

Thanks, Diamond-Michael.
Excited to hear this. Happy to help guide.

He’d likely have a big toothy grin emanating from his bearded face. 😂
