MASTERforge Posted December 24, 2006 I was reading through some posts and thought it was about time I thanked all of the people involved at Tao Bums. I joined here early this year as I was trying to find like minded people. I was inspired by the depth of conversations in the posts. Rarely can I enter a conversation so deep and stimulating in my normal life. I live in a small town where most of the inhabitants are terriffied of getting to know people beyond the superficial. I cant explain why this is so, but it is frustrating and also isolating. This website gives me an outlet for my thoughts. I really didnt know there were people as spiritually curious as I was. I was beginning to think I had some sort of neurosis. What people would take for given I would question and this has caused me problems all my life. Now I don't feel so alone. Here, I find people are honest and there is an open atmosphere to share thoughts. Reading the posts on here encourages me to practice and develop my Taoist studies further. I meditate, practice QiGong and Tai Chi. I have found that the most profound statements are not expressed in words so I could never thank you enough. I will end here with a big thank you to all those people who contribute here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
