The TAO Of Daniel: ENERGY

That word ‘energy’ that’s so often used: what does it mean actually?

Perhaps it is only a ‘thing’ when observed from afar; like Love, or Money, or Sex; its absence makes it stronger.

When energised, or when moving in line with one’s energetic surroundings, the Tao is in full flow'.

Then one feels very ordinary actually; it is nothing special.

There is a contentment, a wholesomeness, a sense of being complete.

After all, energy simply moves, reacts, creates and responds. You are it and it is you.

The Tao is nothing more than the harmonious coming together of energetic forces, that is all. And yet might there be more natural or ‘unnatural’ energies compared with others?

What about green, open spaces for example? Forests? Dunes? The sea?

The Tao does not prioritise so called ‘nature’ over cities. Nor does it condemn or discriminate against anything in fact.

The Tao is subtle that way: all is nature and nature is all.

Nature, in the Chinese language, after all, means ‘spontaneity’; or ‘that which arises in and of itself’.

And so, if it happens it is natural! If it doesn’t… then if one can at least imagine it perhaps it’s also natural.

The rightful place for all that exists cannot be denied, and perhaps it’s about time that everything energetic in this world of ours be accepted and embraced.
