Something that touched me: Not too long ago, I went for a meandering walk with my friend into the heart of Santa Fe. While we walked, I tried to talk to him about compassion and wisdom. As I spilled out my theories and thoughts as they related to safety/security, growth/protection, male/female, co-dependence/interdependence he finally stopped and looked at me with an exasperated look: “Darcy, I hear so much talk from you, but you haven’t taken a deep breath yet.” Enter the Bloody Buddha:
So like it or not you are either a Buddha or a Buddhist. You have to solve the issues he left us or not. Everyone is a Buddhist to some degree and as that is measured in awareness then the worst ones don’t even know it. And now for a quote that struck me recently;
“When I was a Buddhist my family and friends became so tired of me. Once I was a Buddha we were perfect together.”
Review: I was invited to this blog by author, Chris, for a bit of wu wei. Indeed, I would say that Chris has created a space on this ever growing Internet prairie for some wu wei:
Move when it is time and the movement is easy, try ahead of time to shape the world to your desires and it will be work. Do things when they are easy to do. A little comes to a lot.
I could almost picture myself doing a bit of blogging Tai-Chi while I read these posts. No, not a deep, ponderous blog…or, perhaps it is. Each post seemed to have an inhale and an exhale. You might react to this blog as you did when you first read the Tao Te Ching or any number of similar texts. In fact, I do believe the author began his blog with a poem he wrote entitled New Tao Te Ching.
Though we are part of Tao,
we can act as the worst kind of fake;Seeing your breath does not help the wind,let a swamp in your mind be a lake.
His language is clear and concise yet filled with an impeccable call to action, devoid of confrontation. The blog itself is colored ornamentally, but the look and feel is modern and simple. One thing that I found fabulous was a link to Tao Wow Important posts, or “the more polished posts and cover my basic ideas.” Tao Wow self-describes this way:
WELCOME TO TAO WOW.
Tao, Dharma, Vedanta, and findings in new physics, mixed together and given a direct aim at shattering illusions to expose the Wow.
Indeed, I began to wonder-how do you write the wu wei way for the Wow? And of course, my answer would be, Tao Wow. Many thanks Chris for the expressing and the knowing.
Feed: Only found an ATOM feed for posts.
The most contagious, man-made, terminal disease, is seriousness. I was going to go on at length about this but thought it wiser to to just end by saying Ffffert!
