Today's book the Dao de Jing by Lao Tzu. The ancient yet timeless collection of wisdom verses that invites us to live with balance, humility and harmony by aligning with the flow of life. Here's your one minute summary. The Dao is the way. It's the natural rhythm of the universe. Beyond words but always present. Non Doing isn't inaction. Wu wei means effortless action. Doing less but aligning more with what's essential. It's effortless right action where you've trained so long that you naturally do what is best for you. Fascinating stuff.

Don't force the moment, flow with it. How can you live more in harmony with the dao today?
