BEING THERE

GIGGLESKY

Compared to Tao, no-one is that brilliant.
But by standing in the Way,
the sage casts a lovely lustre.

Compared to Tao, nothing seems so dark and obscure.
But in seeking enlightenment,
the sage casts a friendly glow.

Compared to Tao, no idea is so clear, yet seems so muddled.

But by muddling through,

the sage brings clarity.

ICON

Taoism does not intrude brashly into people's lives, recognising that purposeful attempts to 'sell' itself provoke mistrust and arouse opposition.
As with the 'wonders' of the natural world, it exists for itself, but is a resource on which we can draw for inspiration and guidance through life.

The devastating repercussions of callous, greedy or even malicious exploitation and manipulation of nature, are of huge significance worldwide.
Such actions reflect an outlook which is out of touch with, or actively despises, the principles of Taoism which it is the sage's task to uphold.
