What Time is it?

A Reading from the Tao Te Jing…
In the beginning there was The Tao - the great unknowable mystery.
The Tao gave rise to Yin & Yang. Yin & Yang gave rise to the Ten Thousand Things.
The Tao is like a well: used but never used up.
It is like the eternal universe: filled with infinite possibilities.
In dwelling,
- live close to the ground.
In thinking,
- keep to the simple.
In conflict,
- be fair and generous.
In governing,
- don't try to control.
In work,
- do what you enjoy.
In family life,
- be completely present.
In love,
- don't jump to quick conclusions...
