Don M’s Recovery Story – Creativity!

“Creativity is a bottomless well. It doesn’t run dry, It just needs to be fallow for a time. Pushing it was not the answer. The answer was letting go of it, just releasing it, and letting it happen.” Don M.

I hope you enjoy Don's story!

We are taking a break from the weekly group meeting and interviewing some past participants, Facebook group members, and a few authors. If your recovery has been enhanced by Taoist text, don't hesitate to contact us and share your experience!

Here are some of the questions we tackle;

1. Background; Where from, vocation, family, a picture of your life then and now.

2. Has your view of the H.P. changed since you started your recovery journey? How similar is your present H.P. to the one you grew up with?

3. Why does the Tao speak to you? How do you see your relationship with the Tao? What is the Tao to you?

4. Do you have a favorite Tao verse or quote?

5. Do you recommend any Tao podcasts other than this one?

6. Any Tao-related books or devotionals?

Here is a link to an online version of the Tao Te Ching that we use in every meeting; https://ttc.tasuki.org/display:Year:1972,1988,1996,2004/section:46
