The Tao cracks me up. That’s one of the reasons why I like it so much. Christianity just didn’t make me laugh as well. Don’t get me wrong, Christ is an awesome guy.
But phrases like “do nothing and get everything done” and “the Tao is bigger than God” is fun to sit with. Not understand, analyze or work through, but just to be with. Like sitting with the trees. Nothing to understand, just stand under.
Still, I work on catching dreams like fish so I can determine how to cook them. They wiggle and squirm, laugh at me as they escape my net. Like the Tao says, I have to sit quietly and let the next right action come to me.
Singing the dreams to me.
