A leader is best when people barely know that he exists. Of a good leader, when his work is done the people will say, "We did this ourselves."

Daily Tao Reflection 32 — “Even wrestling can be a form of worship.”
The Dao can be smaller than an electron,
yet hold uncountable galaxies.This one’s about duress, discernment, and divine friction.

🕊️ Daily Tao Reflection 31: Weapons of the Mind
“Weapons are the tools of fear. A decent man avoids them, except in dire necessity.”
War is old men sending young men to die for problems they didn’t create.

🌀 Daily Tao Reflection – Chapter 17
When the Master governs, the people are hardly aware that he exists.Next best is a leader who is loved.
Then one who is feared.
The worst is one who is despised.

🌀 Daily Tao Reflection 14
“Look, and it can’t be seen.
Listen, and it can’t be heard.
Reach, and it can’t be grasped.”The Tao doesn’t hide. It just can’t be held.
Not a form. Not a sound. Not a thing.
But you can be it.No beginning. No end.
No image, yet it shapes all images.
No name, yet it names all names.#tao #taoteching #dailytao #mindfulness #laotzu #easternphilosophy

“Success is as dangerous as failure.
Hope is as hollow as fear.”Climb or fall, the ladder is shaky.
Stand grounded—stay balanced.Hope and fear arise from ego.
Lose the self—what’s left to fear?🌀 See the world as yourself.
🌀 Love it as yourself.
🌀 Care for all things.#tao #taoteching #dailytao #mindfulness #laotzu #spirituality #easternphilosophy

🌀 Daily Tao Reflection #12
Colors blind the eye.
Sounds deafen the ear.
Flavors numb the taste.
Thoughts weaken the mind.
Desires wither the heart.— Tao Te Ching, Chapter 12
This one’s simple:
Too much is too much.
Overthinking dulls clarity.
Overindulgence dulls joy.
Let go. Let it pass. Let it come again.The truth is often in what we’re still enough to see.

Tao Te Ching 11:
We work with being—but it’s non-being we use.
A house is useful because of its empty space.
A marriage is not just two people—but the space between them, the shared vessel they agree to fill.Today, my baby cousin gets married.
I’m reminded: Love is not a structure—it’s the emptiness that makes the home.#DailyTao #TaoTeChing #MastodonMorning #WeddingTao #Philosophy

Daily Tao Reflection — Chapter 6
“The Tao is called the Great Mother: empty yet inexhaustible. It gives birth to infinite worlds.”
After writing about my mom yesterday, this hit hard.
I often feel hollow. Like my words don’t quite land.
Yet every morning, I wake up bursting with thoughts.
ADHD? Autism? The Tao?Emptiness isn’t broken. It’s potential.
Inexhaustibility isn’t chaos. It’s the Way.I think I am the Tao. Maybe you are too.
-
“The Tao is like a well: used but never used up.
It is the eternal void filled with infinite possibilities…
I don’t know who gave birth to it. It is older than God.”
— Tao Te Ching, Ch. 4Emptiness is alive—an expansive landscape where mist and horizon outnumber form. A Taoist painting that shows us the silent birth of something that never ends, something older than God.
The Void is not empty—it is infinite potential, rooted in this moment.

Ursula K. Le Guin: Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching
A Book About the Way and the Power of the Way (Shambhala 1997) – Ostin tämän kirjan joitain vuosia sitten, kun sitä kehuttiin Takakansi-podcastissa. Nyt se pääsi mukaan pyörämatkalle pienen kokonsa vuoksi ja tuli luetuksi. Kyseessä on klassisen kiinalaisen tekstin uusi tulkinta. Ei suora käännös, Le Guin ei itse osannut kiinaa, mutta pohdittu, harkittu ja runollinen sovitus. Kirja on hieno: taolaisessa filosofiassa on kiinnostava syvä ydin ja Le Guin muotoilee sen viehättävästi. Osa teksteistä on vähän sumeita; osa tahallaan, osa siksi että lähdetekstit ovat niin vanhoja. Taolainen filosofia oli aika vierasta, mutta tuli nyt tutummaksi. Tämän pariin lienee syytä palata vielä toistekin. #kirjamasto #kirjamastodon #kirjat #taoteching #laotzu -
J'ai trouvé un autre version du Tao-te King.
Traduit et commenté par Marcel Conche, 2003.Je ne connais presque rien de cette édition.
C'est mieux que mon vieux Tao-te King du 1969,
mais je cherche encore pour un édition avec les "Guodian chu slips".Il y a un traduction française de 'Lao Tsu's Tao-te ching' par Robert Henricks en français. Je pense que je dois le commander. Je ne sais pas s'il y a un meilleur livre.
Je n'ai trouvé pas un article de les Guodian chu slips en français. Ceci est l'article du wikipédia en anglais.

Victory comes from lying perfectly still and waiting for power to come your way.
— #LaoTzu, #TaoTeChing, Verse 61 tr Ron Hogan #Laozi #Daodejing #Dao #Daoism #Daoist #Tao #Taoism #Taoist -
Knowing when you have enough avoids dishonor, and knowing when to stop will keep you from danger.
— #LaoTzu, #TaoTeChing, Vs 44 tr J. H. McDonald #Laozi #Daodejing #Tao #Taoism #Taoist #Dao #Daoism #Daoist -
When you try too hard, you defeat your own purpose. Cling to stuff, and you will suffer loss. The Masters make no effort, so they never fail. They aren't attached to things, so they never feel loss.
— #LaoTzu #TaoTeChing Vs 64 tr. Ron Hogan #Laozi #Daodejing #Tao #Taoism #Taoist #Dao #Daoism #Daoist -
The greater the attachment, the more acute the suffering. The greater the hoard, the more damaging the loss.
— #LaoTzu, #TaoTeChing, Verse 44 tr. Oliver Benjamin -
What the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly.
