the Tao

What is the Tao (Pronounced Dow)? Well to put it simply, the Tao is the Way. What is the Way? Well for me, I can only think of it as being in the Now. The presentness of being, to be in the right here and Now with no deviated thoughts of the past or the future things to come. The Taoists Bible is a little ancient Chinese text called 'the Tao Teh Ching' (Dow Deh Ching). Translated, this means 'Tao (Way) Teh (Virtue) Ching (the Canon or ultimate Book, the Masterpiece!). Also, I say little because it is. 81 chapters, that contain short verses, explaining the Tao. Its simple and yet highly profound and so its not that easy to really understand and even harder to explain. So as the ancient Chinese proverb says, 'the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step', lets do just that and take our first step. The first step then, is now, right Now!
