Masters

Got an email today which made me smile right away

It simple stated:

Who was your Master?

---

This is a question Taoist's love to play with. So many answers...

Here's my answer for today:

Lineage cracks me up: who is anyone's master?

Lineage is really about

"what tradition do you follow?"

And tradition is really about

"what practices do you embrace?"

And in all that, in all the searching does that really get you closer to Tao?

If you are lucky, it will get you closer to yourself and acceptance

but only after letting it all go

peace in your travels and don't forget to laugh :)

My normal mental answer to say the salamander is my master, but too many don't have a sense of humor and don't understand it as a response.

Oh well so it goes.

sincerely
me
