Our Taoist Life

Some wonder what my temple is like. I converted a sun room to be the start of our Taoist temple.

I sit here next to a small glass table with my laptop, seated on a yoga ball. I start my working day here around 6 ish to see who has called or emailed for help.


At my left foot, the chickens usually sleep or are busily catching what they may.



To my right, a once stray cat adopted us, He has earned the name Bodi Zen Rose Flower. He sleeps in a wicker basket next to me .


The wind and breeze come in from the screen and this is where I let my essence stray as I type away.



Our life is the temple, When living fully: life responds: to the point that chickens, cats, geckos, students and others you will love, come, help out and join in to full fill the space which in turn truly creates a temple: by living openly and fully to spirit.

Temple isn't place alone, it's life embraced: reflecting to show one how to become full and capable of accepting wholeness.


When needing to dip into spirit. Find a tree, a place to sit, to hold time as a gift: to just be present.



In kindness, I practice Taoism and help others. Take a moment, be kind to yourself, connect to life by being alive. This is Taoism and it isn't more complicated than living your life with acceptance.

Namaste
