Escape from reality
The days leading up to us leaving for our vacation are like walking on fire – I’m not sure I have what it takes to make it without exploding into a million pieces. The truth is I’m toast – just done with all the getting and spending where we lay waste our powers. I’m ready to find myself again because I’ve gotten lost in everyone else’s agenda and certainly not my own.
In yoga the other day Michele dedicated our practice to embracing who you are and being who you are. In a funny conversation with a source yesterday, he was saying, “We all follow the Dow,” but for some reason I thought he was saying, “We all follow the Tao.” And so I kept asking the Tao te Ching or the Dow of Wall Street? And we had a good hearty laugh. But I wonder why we are not following the Tao in lieu of Wall Street. Don’t more answers reside there?

The Tao is always at ease.
It overcomes without competing.
answers without speaking a word,
arrives without being summoned,
accomplishes without a plan.
Its net covers the whole universe.
And though its meshes are wide,
it doesn’t let a thing slip through.
