A Simple Tao Reflection

In this track, I read and explore Entry 15 from the Tao Te Ching, the version translated by Stephen Mitchell. These ancient teachings offer a gentle invitation to slow down, notice, and reconnect with a more grounded way of being. Whether you're beginning your day or pausing in the middle of it, may this brief reminder bring a little more ease, perspective, and presence to your journey.

I wanted to read one of my favorite passages from the Tao Te Ching. This is from the Stephen Mitchell translated version, And it is entry 15. I will go through it twice. Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself? The master doesn't seek fulfillment. Not seeking. Not expecting. She is present. And can welcome all things. And I'll read that one more time. Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself? The Master does not seek fulfillment, Not seeking, Not expecting. She is present and can welcome all things. Have a great rest of your day.
