Tao Te Ching Verse 21 – The Trap of Desire!
Verse 21 gives us three tools to use in daily life;
1. Stop clinging to ideas. 2. Letting it happen rather than manipulation and control. 3. Looking within
We can only see within when we have stopped clinging and let life happen.
We are looking forward to seeing you at an upcoming meeting!
