Entering The Tao - An Introduction To Taoism - KESHAV HOWE
The power of water overcomes all obstacles. As the roaring stream or mist the Tao envelopes us yet is ungraspable. To enter the Tao is to surrender to an incredibly vibrant and alive universal energy that is in a constant state of flux. To enter the Tao is to open to ceaseless change; to embrace paradoxical transformation; to act from non-action; and to live the eternal within the ephemeral. This event promises to be very passionate and full of surprises, as we all surrender to the Tao! See Listers.
