verse 48
In the pursuit of learning, every day something is acquired.
In the pursuit of the Tao, every day something is dropped.
When nothing is done, nothing is left undone.
The world is ruled by letting things take their course.
It cannot be ruled by interfering.

When we lose our sense of awe and wonder we slowly die.

The body rejects Meditations it tells the mind it has no time for such things, most folks think contacting a higher power means just saying a few words at night, this never worked for me. I grew up in the Sixtys, and there were some very good ideas flying around back in those days, one of them was transendental meditation In those days the world was on fire, and nothing has changed, it seems like every thing is made to stress me out, and my mind allways told me I had to do something about it. I allways have meditation to fall back on, instead of action I practice detachment, and non action to negative events, I cannot control the world only the core of peace that is inside of me. Detachment what do'es this mean, well this is an advanced state of mind one gets after meditating for some time with practice one gets better and better untill this state of mind become a constant. Detachment is simply not paying attention to things that done matter, not being offended by what other people say or do, sounds easy it's not try it. A good way to begin a practice of medatition is simple try to find a quit place early in the morning, the morning is good because thats when the energy of life is high. Now dont worry about thinking about anything, if you can set outside just before sunrise this is perfect, try to set in a comfy chair no lotus you will just give up if you try that. Ok what now relax unfocus your eyes at the horizon where the light is slowly coming up, now slowly start breathing. Breath long slow and steady dont force it, let it be easy, let the breathing come from the center of your being. Let the breathing come from the pit of your stomach, as you breath in feel the spirit and energy of the source of all living beings enter body, when you breath out feel the dark energy leave your body. I know this sounds like a lot of work but the pay off is a stillness and a peace and a connection to a power that is beyond understanding, a connection to that part of yourself where peace and understanding dwell, and it's really not that much work.
