Tao is now

"As long as the sun rises
  And your heart beats
  Tao is at hand"
                              Deng Ming Tao 

Why do I look for Tao in obscure places? Why do I seek Tao in mysterious Sages? As long as I breath, Tao is here within me. I might be only dimly aware of this, but that dim awareness does not change the presence of Tao. Being in nature will help; meditation will help; both will help bring me to a better awareness of Tao. Even if I do neither of these, Tao is right at hand. Do I feel? Do I sense? Then I have direct access to Tao. Don't delay! Sense for it. Feel it. Tao is breath. Tao is now!
