"The Tao is like a well: used but never used up. It is like the eternal void: filled with infinite possibilities. It is hidden but always present. I don’t know who gave birth to it. It is older than God."
[#daodejing #taoteching by #Laotse #laotzu translated by Stephen Mitchell]
The #dao #tao is "infinity." It is everything, every being, molecule, atom, quark, boson, particle, wave, & force. It is time and everything time contains.

"...Practice not-doing, and everything will fall into place."
[#daodejing #taoteching by #Laotse #laotzu translated by Stephen Mitchell's]
When I read Stephen Mitchell's translation of Laotse's words here, the word that comes to mind is "proportion." When I enjoy something, I tend to want more and more of it. Laotse warns me to be warry of 'too much of a good thing.' Instead of chasing the dopamine rush of excess, success and pleasure, I must remember the sage in Verse 2...(2/4)

...If I am to live in accord with the #dao, I must not work for the rewards, or the accolades. When it's time to work, I must not focus on all the possible outcomes but the work itself. And then move on. To have balance is to be present and perform mindfully, and diligently, and then let it go. Give it my best, and then forget it. (4/4)

...Therefore the Master acts without doing anything and teaches without saying anything. Things arise and she lets them come; things disappear and she lets them go. She has but doesn’t possess, acts but doesn’t expect. When her work is done, she forgets it. That is why it lasts forever"

Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people’s approval and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.
