Follow the Tao

Follow the Tao:

‍

Follow the Tao.

‍

The Tao Te Ching.

‍

Like a running river.

‍

Always moving.

‍

Always flowing.

‍

Always adapting to whatever’s in your way.

‍

Sometimes it’ll be a lot.

‍

Other times it’ll feel easy.

‍

No matter what, just stay on the path.

‍

Everything you deserve to deal with is right in front of you.

‍

Not up the river.

‍

Not down the river.

‍

Right in front of you.

‍

Observe it.

‍

Enjoy it.

‍

Experience it.

‍

No matter how good or bad.

‍

People will come across your life at exactly the right time.

‍

Not before.

‍

Not after.

‍

It’s your job to appreciate it.

‍

Understand it.

‍

Learn from it.

‍

Then keep moving on your river.

‍

Maybe you’ll see them again.

‍

Maybe you won’t.

‍

All you can do is keep flowing.

‍

Keep moving.

‍

Keep living the life in front of you.

‍

Those that want to be there will.

‍

Those that won’t, won’t.

‍

Just keep flowing.

‍

Was on a boat this weekend with 1800 strangers.

‍

Met a few.

‍

Didn’t meet most.

‍

Reached out to some.

‍

Didn’t hear back from others.

‍

All you can do is put your heart out there.

‍

Be comfortable with your life.

‍

Extend a hand.

‍

Those that want to be in your river will be.

‍

Maybe you’ll only see them once.

‍

Like passing time on a flight next to someone.

‍

Having a great conversation.

‍

Then moving on.

‍

I don’t know who will show up in my river.

‍

I do know that I’m supposed to be exactly where I am.

‍

Not further.

‍

Not backward.

‍

Exactly here.

‍

Take things as they come.

‍

Never less.

‍

Never more.

‍

If we succeed, well and good.

‍

If we fail, that is good too.

‍

Float on the great flux of things.

‍

Nothing prevails against water which is soft and gentle.

‍

Flowing.

‍

Not too fast.

‍

Not too slow.

‍

Moving just as is.

‍

Move like the Tao.

‍

Follow the Tao.
