The TAO Of Daniel: ADVENTURE

Many spiritualists, religious types, yogis, preachers, philosophers (and even Taoists) underestimate the adventurous Tao.

Adventure is what happens when faith meets action, when passion meets discipline, and when dreams meet reality.

An adventure must be lived viscerally through the senses. There must be something at stake, something sacrificed, something ‘used up’. Or else it’s simply indulgence, or ‘entertainment’ perhaps.

Adventure can go wrong and in many cases will. It will show us also that it wasn’t so much about doing it ‘right’ in the first place anyhow; that to try and to fail is rarely much of a failure at all.

Instead it yields laughter, humility, a good story to tell and often a certain ‘hunger’ for more.

The Tao promotes a proactive sort of spiritualism, whereby the physical, tangible details are all there: sweat, struggle, boldness, breathing, confusion, creativity, touch, truth, awareness, destruction, dreams, silence, walking, falling, playing and more.

It happens to a person anyway - the Tao is always there. Some are victims of it however, while others jump on board.

If you don’t jump then you won’t fall. If you jump you might reach the Tao, if only for a moment, or another moment more…
