Beautiful musing, James. The Tao may come to us in different forms and shapes, in different ways, but if we listen and keep our mind open, we won't miss it...

I can't resist the temptation to quote Bruce Lee. It sounds so in tune with the Tao:

“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”

With much Aloha, James 💚
