What a week. There were a few things I had been thinking of posting, but instead a look at the Dao De Jing might be in order. If you click o the title of this post, you'll be directed to an online version of this classic.
21. Accept
Harmony is only in following the Way.The Way is without form or quality,
But expresses all forms and qualities;
The Way is hidden and implicate,
But expresses all of nature;
The Way is unchanging,
But expresses all motion.
Beneath sensation and memory
The Way is the source of all the world.
How can I understand the source of the world?
By accepting.
Indeed,

Morning stars,

Child's smiling face.
