Pin (Ma, Ed, All), - How are you? Kind of joking as well as brainstorming, Pin  ...  A hike on Sunday near Baltimore at Burke Lake or Mason's Neck ... BUT NOT YET VIRTUALLY :)... (I caught glimpses of these in AllTrails ... Thanks Ed for this some years ago) ... and to talk and walk and hang out and maybe philosophy-wise even ... or reasoning -wise ? Am thinking this might not happen before I potentially move west to a newly safe Canyon 94516 in 2024 but expressing  good thinking re out hanging out in high school years ... Have been riffing however with the Tao Te Ching and Desiderata in some of these regards ...  (And will send) Fond regards,🥰, Scott (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/society%20and%20Taoism and  ...  http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Taoism and http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/philosophy ðŸ™‚)

tao of the desiderata ?


Tao Te Ching and The Desiderata ?


How to riff with the 

The Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu

The Tao Te Ching
by Lao Tzu

Tao Te Ching eg in 81 new poems to elaborate on  the Desiderata?








1 
"Go placidly ... " & 

"Speak your truth quietly and clearly" 

... about the "Tao," 

& Desiderata-wise : "in silence," and "without surrender be on good terms with all persons" and "love," with "spirit," the "universe," or "God," or "soul," "But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings," rather "be cheerful," 

- since that is not the little (lower case) "tao"  ... 

& regarding "affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass"

Is this
"The gateway to all understanding"? 

"Speak your truth quietly and clearly" as "the universe is unfolding as it should" ... 



"1
The tao that can be told
is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be named
is not the eternal Name.

The unnamable is the eternally real.
Naming is the origin
of all particular things.

Free from desire, you realize the mystery.
Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.

Yet mystery and manifestations
arise from the same source.
This source is called darkness.

Darkness within darkness.
The gateway to all understanding."




Desiderata: 

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.







(Quotes from Stephen Mitchell's translation of "The Tao Te Ching," and from "The Desiderata.")

South China Karst

South China Karst

South China Karst is one of the world’s most spectacular examples of humid tropical to subtropical karst landscapes. It is a serial site spread over the provinces of Guizhou, Guangxi, Yunnan and Chongqing and covers 97,125 hectares. It contains the most significant types of karst landforms, including tower karst, pinnacle karst and cone karst formations, along with other spectacular characteristics such as natural bridges, gorges and large cave systems. The stone forests of Shilin are considered superlative natural phenomena and a world reference. The cone and tower karsts of Libo, also considered the world reference site for these types of karst, form a distinctive and beautiful landscape. Wulong Karst has been inscribed for its giant dolines (sinkholes), natural bridges and caves.

Saw that State Farm didn't renew some homeowners' insurance in Canyon in a Next Door social media email (and having got Renters' insurance newly here in Pgh through Geico AND a quote too for 670a Ridgecrest Canyon 94516!)  Thoughts? Fondly, Scott (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Canyon?m=0)

Hi Scott. Some nice poetic thoughts on the Allegheny there. I'll give the music a try when I get a chance. 

About insurance, I only know it's a nightmare here in Florida
