Chapter One is all about naming and manifestation. "Naming is the origin of all particular things." Seeing this photo of baby just hours old, naming becomes holy. I introduce Atticus to our Tao study group. He has come from "the darkness. The gateway to all understanding."

Tao Baby
Chapter One is all about naming and manifestation. "Naming is the origin of all particular things." Seeing this photo of baby just hours old, naming becomes holy. I introduce Atticus to our Tao study group. He has come from "the darkness. The gateway to all understanding."

Copyright Permission Pending
Folks ... We're waiting for copyright permission from the publisher of Stephen Mitchell's version, Tao Te Ching. With that pending, I think we can proceed with posting the chapters. I'll cut text from the chapters discussed as I add a new entry. That way we are not reproducing the book online. We agree that our blog is for educational purposes only and not for profit. How about posting a chapter a week, say on Fridays? Beginning today, July 21, 2006. I'll post the chapters and all of us can comment. How does this sound to everyone?

First Post
Folks . . . This is the bare bone template for Tao Way. And, our address is:
http://taoway.blogspot.com
The software is Blogger. It is free, connected with Google and used by many. All Blogger blogs have "blogspot.com" as part of their address. You can read more about it at:
blogger.com
How about everyone try to write a comment to this post? I don't think this is as easy as it sounds. Send me questions: lissalord@myway.com
You will choose a user name and password. Your password is the name that others will see attached to your comments. I am Reflibrarian which is the name I chose for a blog at work. The name sticks! So, select one you like and will not forget.
Question 1: Should we use one specific translation of the Tao (ie: Stephen Mitchell) or use several? I have 5 or 6 different versions and I know you have ones I don't have.
Question 2: Shall we start with one chapter per week?
Invite interested folks to join in. This is going to be a wonderful experience!
