Thought

Wu Wei is the Taoist concept that translates to “effortless action” or “actionless action” – to proceed guided like a river with the natural flow of life:

The Tao is like a bow, and the ego is like an arrow. The ego wants to hit the target, but it is the Tao that guides it. Wu Wei is about allowing the Tao to guide the arrow, rather than trying to force it to hit the target.

— Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Quote

Buddhist monk and writer Thich Nhat Hanh on existence:

"We are not separate from the universe; we are one with the sun, the moon, the stars and the earth. Everything is interconnected."

Intention of the Day

Today, it’s my intention to be to kind to at least one stranger, without any expectation in return.

What’s your intention today?

Happy Monday,
