taoflower Posted April 8, 2013 Tao here , Tao there , Without name , Tao is everywhere , Caught in a cosmic game... Tao is beyond words , Invisible to the naked eye , Master , Mistress , Lady , Lord , Incomprehensible to the mind. Tao is more than infinity , An elusive butterfly , Deeper than the deepest sea , Beyond the blue sky..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chenping Posted April 8, 2013 I wonder if Chidragon could translate this lovely poem into classical Chinese. I am dying to see how it matches up to the literary style of ancient China as set out in the Tao Te Ching.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chenping Posted April 9, 2013 New Yorkers like upbeat spirituality. They are everywhere in the Upper West Side, the Village, Chelsea and Brooklyn. Pretentious. But you can't become a Daoist just because you think Christianity is creepy, you don't like Joel Osteen or you hate conservative values. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chenping Posted April 9, 2013 why not? It would be reactionary. It's like taking a boyfriend on the rebound. Are you a Village person? Just asking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
