Under Construction
I have been reading a new book recently.
It is called Simple Taoism, by Alexander Simpkins, PhD.
I would recommend this to anyone seeking to understand Taoism and apply it in their daily lives. The reading includes Taoist origins including Lao-tzu, Chuang-tzu, Lieh-tzu, and Yang-chu. Meditation, Chi Kung, martial arts, creative arts, and personal healing are also covered. I personally found the acupressure charts to be very helpful.

Cooperation with others.
Perception, experience, tenacity.
Know when to lead and when to follow.

Ordinary
Umbrella, light, landscape, sky – -
There is no language of the divine.
The sacred lies in the ordinary.

Time
The river, surging course,
Uninterrupted current.
Headwater, channel, mouth.
Can they be divided?

Positioning
Heron stands in the blue estuary,
Solitary, white, unmoving for hours.
A fish! Quick avian darting;
The prey captured.

Absorption
Crimson light through pine shadows.
Setting sun settling in the ocean.
Night follows the setting sun,
Day follows the fleeing moon.

Shaping
Potter at the wheel.
From centering to finished pot,
Form increases as options decrease;
Softness goes to hardness.

Disaster
Mute black night,
Sudden fire.
Destruction.
