After almost a year of reading about Taoism, it took only but a moment to fully live and absorb the idea of Wu-Wei (if at all that is possible).
It was on a rickety boat, over an uncomfortably rough sea, looking for whales. I had never felt that present ever before. Just the mere joy of being on the same waters as the creatures of my dreams outweighed the possibility of actually seeing them (which i did, eventually). Ever since that five hour boat ride, I've felt the invisible presence of a flow in my daily. There's an unmatched sense of fulfilment in effortless action. As I continue to loosen my grip and live with the Tao, I let my thoughts, feelings and my undercurrents flow free.
Like water.
If you're interested in knowing more about Taoism, here's some material that could help you grasp the essence of this beautiful philosophy:
1) The Philosophy Of Flow — Taoism
“That which offers no resistance, overcomes the hardest substances. That which offers no resistance can enter where there is no space.
Few in the world can comprehend the teachings without words, or understand the value of non-action”
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, Chapter 43.
