I want to stand by the river in my finest dress. I want to sing, strong and hard, and stomp my feet with a hundred others so that the waters hum with our happi...ness. I want to dance for the renewal of the world. Robin Wall Kimmerer Art by Jackie Traverse (Canada), https://jackietraverse.com

To restore the mind to its unfragmented origin, sit quietly and meditate. First count the breaths, then tune the breath until it is imperceptible. Sense the bod...y as like the undifferentiated absolute, and you won't hear anything. Those who can regain their composure after a mountain crumbles before them are second best; not even being startled is expertise. ____ Immortal Lu Dongbin See more

Move it or lose it

The mystery of the Way is not explained by word. If you consider it substantial, still all substance is empty. If you consider it empty, still all emptiness is ...substantial. If you want to talk about its alternating and interacting emptiness and substantiality, where does the substantiality exist, where is the emptiness clarified? _____ Immortal Lu Dongbin See more

Merry Christmas and happy new Year

At the very roots of Chinese thinking and feeling there lies the principle of polarity, which is not to be confused with the ideas of opposition or conflict. In... the metaphors of other cultures, light is at war with darkness, life with death, good with evil, and the positive with the negative, and thus an idealism to cultivate the former and be rid of the latter flourishes throughout much of the world. To the traditional way of Chinese thinking this is as incomprehensible as an electric current without both positive and negative poles, for polarity is the principle that plus and minus, north and south, are different aspects of one and the same system, and that the disappearance of either one of them would be the disappearance of the system. Alan Watts The Taoist View of the Universe

``Most of these individuals were relatively uneducated youth from the countryside. They sought out the martial arts either as a means to better paying employment (perhaps as a caravan guard) or as a source of entertainment and personal cultivation during slack periods of the agricultural year.``

"When the doors of perception are cleansed, men [and women] will see things as they truly are, infinite." ~William Blake
