To become whole
The Tao te Ching says: “If you want to become whole, let yourself be partial. If you want to become straight, let yourself be crooked…..” They mean we most often learn by comparison. In effect we can’t perceive the concept of being straight unless there is some awareness of being crooked. As the mind quiets through allowing the sensation within ourself to arise, that which felt partial becomes whole and so on. We are now more and more at peace, balanced and in harmony with our surroundings. ~Alain & Jody Herriott |
