And we're back! Episode 29 looks at the first few lines of chapter 42, which is a confusing paragraph about the creation of the universe and the yin-yang harmony. However, if we read carefully and creatively, I think we can find some powerful lessons in here.

In this episode, I start by considering just one of those practical lessons: the idea of finding balance or harmony between work and rest. The rest of the episode is divided into four parts:

1. The Tao creates one; the one creates two - on unity in the world and the dangers of dualistic thinking
2. The two creates three - the "third thing" as a reality of nature
3. The third thing in practice - how this idea can practically affect our (1) emotional health, (2) faith/spiritual health, (3) intellectual health, and (4) ability to cultivate healthy, loving relationships
