Alde Baran Posted November 27, 2018 Good evening, I have discovered The Dao Bums through a recommendation. I can already see that there are many subjects of interest being discussed here. I'm looking forward to seeing more and becoming acquainted with the way the site works. About myself, I have been learning for many years about the power of stillness, observation, and thought. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nintendao Posted December 3, 2018 Welcome, seeker! Is your name derived from the star Aldebaran? I recognized that name because it's what i called a magical sword i once found while trying to play Dungeons&Dragons. Even if it's a coincidence, that's even cooler. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
