"Rather than change the world by force, change yourself by aligning with the Tao—the Way."
Your post today reminded my of the teaching of the apostle Paul. To be in the world but not of it. The Tao has many parallels with the Way of Jesus. Truth is always truth wherever it crops up.
You've illustrated several pieces now with your face as primary image, set in some expression showing emotion appropriate to the piece. These have been very good pictures. I can wish for a mosaic of these portraits to grace the cover of your book--I suppose they would be relegated to the back--I think potential readers would be attracted.
Your writing reminds me that inner clarity is a form of resistance. Especially when chaos presses in from the edges, trying to convince us it belongs inside too.
Living in Lithuania, where the possibility of war expanding into our borders feels chillingly real, this clarity feels less like a luxury and more like something I can’t afford to lose.

Yes! Love me some Paul.
Indeed. He was first and best, acknowledged to have been inspired.
