CURRENT MISSION

Help travelers find their way while letting them guide me.

ABOUT ME

"Life is like a jalopy ride through the savannah. Sometimes you run into obstacles, like a rock, or a tree, or a dead antelope, but you've got to keep driving, otherwise the lion of self doubt catches up with you, and rips out your throat."

PHILOSOPHY

Tao Te Ching - Chapter 1

Way-making that can be put into words is not true way-making,
And naming that can assign fixed reference to things is not really naming.

The nameless is the fetal beginnings of everything that is happening,
While that which is named is their mother.

Thus, to be truly objectless in one's desires is how to observe the mysteries of all things,
While really having desires is how one observes their boundaries.

These two - the nameless and what is named - emerge from the same source, yet are referred to differently.

Together they are called obscure.
The obscurest of the obscure,
They are the swinging gateway of the manifold mysteries.
