I am trying a new online publishing site. Still working out the wrinkles, as you will see from the formating on the page, but if anyone is interested please check it out here.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Cheers!

Empty your mind of all thoughts.
Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the turmoil of beings,
but contemplate their return.

Each separate being in the universe
returns to the common source.
Returning to the source is serenity.

If you don't realize the source,
you stumble in confusion and sorrow.
When you realize where you come from,
you naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused,
kindhearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.
Immersed in the wonder of the Tao,
you can deal with whatever life brings you,
and when death comes, you are ready.

- Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu

The simple practice of following the logical trail of where I came from, back to its source, and seeing the mutuality of that trail between me and everything else in existence is one of the most profound meditations I know. It's right up there with simply feeling what it is like to be, and to always know that I am.

Getting a feel for the mutual source between me and an other makes dealing with life peaceably and with equanimity a much easier thing. The source lives behind all the veils of uniqueness and difference we hold as so precious to our handle on life, and reveals with naked clarity that truly there is not two, and we are all in this life sharing the same struggles. Living knowing that source is a great doorway to peace and the salvation of the world.
