I had the book for at least 15 years before I really read it. It is the kind of book you can pick up every day and get something out of....or not. I love how non judgemental it is. Things just are. Anyway, I hope Bear is doing better...Bunny too. You'll get to the book when the time is right. No worries. No guilt.<br />xoLife Potentials Networkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428773940113856252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252982353431030029.post-92059953709598898032009-08-01T00:18:01.742-04:002009-08-01T00:18:01.742-04:00Thanks, Diantha.

We've worn through our copy and need a new one!<br /><br />Silke, I'm glad the Tao inspires you today! Peace and joy to you!<br /><br />Jan, what a lovely quote! Oh another book to get! I need to build a library! But I do love that quote....and words do become unnecessary when love grows deep. Actions and simple gestures become so communicative, and beyond words. <br /><br />Joy Discovered, so glad you discovered this blog! I am so happy to have you visit here! Byron Katie's book has also come up twice lately. I think this is another book to buy! Thank you! Let me know how you like whatever version of the Tao you get!<br /><br />Sarah, glad to have you visit today as always! I am not as great a hostess as you are....i forget the lace tablecloth and scones and teas but I get so excited I just get right into things! <br /><br />Blessings to you all today and every day.....Life Potentials Networkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428773940113856252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252982353431030029.post-33451526048919574732009-07-30T15:46:41.022-04:002009-07-30T15:46:41.022-04:00Oh I am with you here!!

You are sharing great things over here! I really appreciate you writing about the Tao. This is something I have had interest in but have not yet explored fully. I just learned about Stephen Mitchell (through reading A Thousand Names for Joy that he helped write with Byron Katie); it is nice to have a recommendation for which copy to buy of the Tao as that has been part of my confusion when I've looked through the many copies available at bookstores! I love it that you read both texts with your husband! It is wonderful to practice living like this with a partner!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252982353431030029.post-82330197622594517022009-07-30T10:21:31.928-04:002009-07-30T10:21:31.928-04:00Diantha,

I have a favorite interpretation of it done by William Martin: The Couple's Tao Te Ching. He also wrote The Parent's Tao Te Ching. (I guess Oprah gives this to every friend who has a new baby.) I think you are spot on about allowing the Tao to flow in and through our lives. It does take us home to our truest selves. <br /><br />Here's one phrase from the Martin book for couples that I love:<br /><br />"You do not need words<br />to prove your love.<br />The proof lies in simple actions.<br />Listening with attention,<br />seeing with acceptance, <br />touching with tenderness,<br />this is the way of the Tao."<br /><br />Hugs to you this day...Janice Lynne Lundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065023183951459029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252982353431030029.post-52649558787199304782009-07-30T09:02:36.631-04:002009-07-30T09:02:36.631-04:00I love the tao and any teaching that brings me pea...I love the tao and any teaching that brings me peace of mind and a loving heart!
