So much wisdom packed in this piece! I like the story of Confucius and Lao Tzu.
And I like your reminder that we need not run off to faraway mountains. That spirituality is attainable in the here and now in our daily life, in the turmoil of the world. Not about another peak in enlightenment but staying with the present even when things get hard.
Thank you! I like the story too, I'm organizing the conversations between Lao Tzu and Confucius and other people. By the end, it will be a collection of short stories with different topics.
I agree with you. Spirituality is very much earth-bound in Taoist thinking, and helps us to move about with clarity, especially in dealing with external changes.
