:( I am trying to edit my signature line, and all I get is text code? Am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be appreciated.

I thought I was the only stupid tao bum. It took me several times to get on the tao bums too! We must be the tao stooges! Now, I can't seem to edit my signature - I am baffled, I am frustrated, so its time to ease back and let the tao settle in. "What will be will be" (Dinah Shore).

I like it any way it is served. Your icon character is cool. It looks like Miyamoto Musashi. Thanks, and right back at ya with that energy. I like it any way it is served. Your icon character is cool. It looks like Miyamoto Musashi. Thanks, and right back at ya with that energy.

I too, study the martial arts and enjoy its many attributes. If you are in the martial arts yourself, I would recommend finding a mentor that can teach you something about the cultivation of Chi. Maybe you have already discovered this potent force of internal energy. If you want to get a prep course on it, I recommend you buy the book entitled Tai Chi Classics by Waysun Liao. As all of the martial arts are rooted in tai chi, this is a good book to own even if you are not interested in developing your inner chi.

Cool, welcome aboard

Howdy all. Pleased to join the bums. I am a self proclaimed tao bum, studying eastern philosophies for the better part of 25 years. I love them all, and try to incorporate the principles into my daily routine and interactions with my fellow man. I stumble, I fall, but I always come back to the tao. If I don't, it will find me. With current events being what they are, its hard not to become cynical, but the tao keeps me honest. Keeps me humble. I am in no position to pass judgment on others. But it would be nice to live in a world where everyone is treated equal, no matter their color, religion, or gender. Where compassion is valued as highly as military might. I could complain but it wouldn't accomplish anything. All I can do is live a simple life and try to give something back to the world, maybe nudge it along a little bit in the right direction. Hope to meet like minded people on this web site. Wish you all a quiet and peaceful evening in the galaxy.
