I bumped into a very old friend a couple of weeks ago. He reminded me of a book I nagged him to reading back in the early nineties which I had completely forgotten about.
Amazingly, not only had my old pal remembered the Tao of Pooh, he had also studied Taoism further trying to blend some of the key messages into his life. He urged me to look into it further again and reread the book. As soon as I was home I was straight onto Amazon to order a paperback copy. It was not available in Kindle format!
Delving back into a book I loved when I was 21 in my mid forties was a bit odd. It was a little like going back to childhood playground or old school. It was recognisable but seemed and seemed a bit smaller.
However, the main lessons of Taoism sound very worthwhile; don't try to be someone you are not, maintain humility and humbleness and keep faith in ourselves maintaining patience as "every thousand mile journey starts with a single step."
I think I'll read some more on Taoism.
Cheers
