I chanced upon this weathered piece of driftwood in a neighbor's front yard. Whenever I walk by it, I am reminded of the ancient Taoist
principle of Wu Wei or going with the flow of life rather than fighting
it. The lines in the wood resemble flowing water, which to the ancient
Chinese sages was a metaphor for the Tao, the mysterious force behind
the universe that pervades everything but which eludes all our attempts
to grasp it.
