“And so the wise soul predominates without dominating, and leads without misleading.
And people don’t get tired of enjoying and praising one who, not competing, has in all the world no competitor.”

“Holding fast to the old Way, we can live in the present. Mindful of the ancient beginnings, we hold the thread of the Tao.”

in the forest deep
where two natures meet
my self is lost then found
To grasp the essence of all creatures
Is to leave the secrets of nature untouched
Fish are most joyous in deepest waters
Birds love the refuge of hidden jungles
I am content being old, ill and poor
Wealth and fame cannot bring one peace within
So long as the clear autumn air lets me
Stand and walk, I will be grateful
To eat the simplest herbs in solitude
Tu Fu
from "Tu Fu" China's Great Poet
Paul Lloyd Warner (tr.)
“People follow earth,
earth follows heaven,
heaven follows the Way,
the Way follows what is.
the words... remind us not to see the Way as a sovereignty or a domination, all creative, all yang. The Way itself is a follower. Though it is before everything, it follows what is.”
— Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching by Ursula K. Le Guin

@mattgemmell that's what makes #elisp. you become more tolerant because everything is possible and ok. You're often just happy with an elisp-changed brain. You can only top it with #haskell as an addon. †hen you found #tao.
Tao 'Pataphysics:
COSMIC INNER SMILE !
"THE SMILE THAT YOU SEND OUT RETURNS TO YOU."
(Indian Wisdom)*
*As quoted on the LP backcover of The Beach Boys' SMILEY SMILE (1967)
All nature changes,
everything impermanent,
but for brief moments...

Today's playlist is about being in the moment, and relinquishing. If you've been linquishing, this is for you.

The sound of a swollen
mountain stream rapidly rushing
makes one know
how very quickly life itself
is pressed along its course.
Saigyō
Namenlose Einfalt bewirkt Wunschlosigkeit.
Wunschlosigkeit macht still,
und die Welt wird von selber recht.
Laotse
Höre nicht mit deinen Ohren, höre mit deinem Herz-Geist. Nein, höre nicht mit deinem Herz-Geist, höre mit deinem Lebensatem. Die Ohren hören auf mit dem Hören, der Herz-Geist hört auf mit dem Wieder-Erkennen. Der Lebensatem aber wartet leer auf die Dinge. Allein der Weg sammelt Leere. Leere ist das Fasten des Herz-Geistes.
Zhuangzi
