Random Thoughts

[Angrboda]

As I get older, though I no longer organize my thinking along Taoist lines, I realize that my embracing Taoism when I was younger has yielded significant benefits. I'm much more open and accepting of differences than I suspect I would have been otherwise. And though I only notice it in hindsight, my whole approach to the world and learning is organized along Taoist lines, even though I don't consider myself a practicing Taoist.

"You are sitting in the forest against a large, old tree. A graceful yet timid deer approaches you cautiously. If you ignore it, the deer draws nearer. If you acknowledge it's presence, it moves away from you. The deer is the Tao."
