You cannot really tell what is Tao, but you can live in it. She is the Force that drives your everyday life without your awareness. Just as children grow up, adults age, flowers bloom and fade, seasons come and go, careers are made and destroyed, and yin and yang dance. TheTao is the Force behind every creature and event. She is like an invisible hand behind everything, magically rotating the wheels of life.
When we don’t experience this Force, when we think that life is random, we try to create the environment that we think will make us happy. We mostly get what we want but sometimes run into walls. We are mostly stressed and can experience serenity and peace only now and then. But once we see this Force, even if initially we just see glimpses, we will try to spend a lifetime with Her. We drop our psychological guard in all interactions because we know where She walks we are well protected. We stop aiming for things because in Her presence magic happens and we know that no matter how hard we work, no matter how much scheming we do, we could never create this beauty for ourselves.
Once you are connected you can very much experience this Force in action. Once you hold Her hand you will never let go. Zen is a way of living. You can experience the life's magic here and now while being serene, joyful and curious. As a Tao traveler you learn to respect of every event, every encounter and every emotion. No task is too small for you, just as no task is too big. Your ego is simply washed away by the magic unfolding in front of your astonished eyes. Find Zen in whatever you do today and join us on this magnificent journey.
