TAO (Pronounced “DOW”, As In The Dow Jones Industrials)

Relax……. Sit back and take three deep breaths, concentrating on the miraculous transitions between your in-breath and your out-breath along with the transitions between your out-breath and your in-breath (what force causes that to happen and keep you alive?). Next, please try to make sense of the following Newtonian cause and effect chain of events;
- I discovered Martha Beck through my colleague, the engineering chick.
- Through Martha Beck, I discovered the acronym TAO = Transparent, Authentic, Open.
- For many years, I’ve loved the eternal message conveyed in the 2600 year old Tao Te Ching.
Because of all of the above, I’ve decided to make a (half-assed, of course) commitment to try to live and behave in accordance with the spirit of Ms. Beck’s TAO. Sadly, it may lead to a life of loneliness and living on the streets begging for pennies, but I’m gonna give it a go.
On second thought, fuggedaboud this post cuz I’m too chicken to do it.
