Happy to be here

Hello All,

 

I appreciate the opportunity to partake in this group with you. A group of this size and the combined wisdom is very promising and I look forward to snooping around.

 

I live a rural life in eastern North Carolina. Ten years ago I was partaking in a laymen study of Physics. During this study I stubbed my toe on the Tao Te Ching. It was as if I suddenly had clearer sight or better hearing.

 

However I still do not understand Physics very well.

 

I saw the power of the Tao not in what it says but in what it does not say. The lack of esoteric ideas and absence of dogma is a subtle relief but I quickly began to understand its great importance.

 

The idea that we are not really supposed to fully understand the Tao is liberating and expansive with possibility.

 

The concepts of good/bad or beautiful/ugly being abstracted from nature is both a freeing concept and also a reasonable burden on humanity.

 

This thing called Tao that I cannot hold, cannot use and cannot fully understand suddenly became very important to me.

 

I am also searching for a good vegetarian Thai peanut sauce.

 

Best Regards,
