What is a Tao Traveler?

A person who has achieved control over psychic energy and has invested in consciously chosen goals cannot help but grow into a more complex human being.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow

A spiritual path is nothing but a mission statement. Everyone has one. The ambitious business man who wants to climb the ladder of success, the teacher who wants to educate others, the stay home mom who wants to raise a family. Life is all about the choices you make along the way. In the same vein, the mission of a Tao traveler is to feel the space in-between, the holy connection that life and people provide every moment. Most people are too busy too look, so this connection feels like magic to them. We spiritual path travelers perceive glimpses of the 'beyond' and when we zoom into it, we cannot help but to drop our agenda. Don't get me wrong, we are still ambitious and we may still want to educate and or to raise a family, but all this we temporarily forget when we surrender to the space in-between. Over time we find that  it is the Tao that takes us to places. We still decide on our goals, but the mode of transportation is no longer up to us. Happy traveling!
