When a country is in harmony with the Tao,
the factories make trucks and tractors.
When a country goes counter to the Tao,
warheads are stockpiled outside the cities.

Stay in the restful place of knowing the Tao and the world begins to look good again.The old me comes through and floats to the top of my life with an ancient memory of being satisfied with life. What is fear but something to walk through in a conscious way. Taking action in the center of fear is not a tough decision. Rather it is the point of leaning forward into sanity—of leaving the place of unrest for the restful place. “. . .contentment with one’s portion of contentment is eternal contentment enough.” (Hamill) In some part of your life, find contentment and dwell within this. Stay in this place and it will grow around you and radiate from you into the world.Be grateful for “this kind of problem.”
