I love this and wholeheartedly agree. Who we are being is what we contribute to and we have to become aware of where we ourselves are contributing to conflict instead of peace.
And also be humble enough to acknowledge that we may not be right about everything!
Love Rumi’s quote: The truth was a mirror in the hands of God. It fell, and broke into pieces. Everybody took a piece of it, and they looked at it and thought they had the truth. ✨
Lovely stuff. Thank you. I have read various translations of Tao de Ching but haven't ever got involved with the I Ching. Would you advise doing so and is there a particular translation you really value?
I've learned the hard way that it's important (at least for me) to have friends outside of my own bubble. It prompts me to really think about stuff I take for granted. But having a real discussion based friendship where you roast each other out without offending one another - man, that's a rare gift nowadays. I just published a post on the I Ching btw, perhaps you'd be interested to check it out! Also trying to offer something to ease the pulse of the time with that, so perhaps a similar approach to yours? :)

Yes! 🙌 In particular your second paragraph delivers the secret sauce. Thanks for sharing this!
Reminded me of the old Country recording, "Would someone please pass the biscuits?"
HA! Yes! 🙌

Thanks Neil. The Tao The Ching translation by Stephen Mitchell and The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff are great starting points.
Misread this. Yes, highly recommend the I Ching. I Ching Cafe on You Tube is an excellent starting point.
Awesome. Thanks for the signpost. Really helpful.
I wish I could disagree with you! Well, I can find something, I suppose, beyond your inexplicable choice of favorite beverage.
A timely post, Diamond-Michael. Thanks.
