Verse 41: Lao Tzu's Smile
Verse 41: Lao Tzu’s Smile.
Today’s verse 41 is to be taken as a whole; it is an attitude to
embrace, to further deepen into Tao. Tao, as we have seen recently, is mysterious, seems to go in reverse, and remain hidden. Verse 41 reminds one how an attitude of expecting the unexpected is one way for Tao to find you. Receptive, open, becoming strange to one’s normal world, to re-engage with Tao’s norms.
There is a picture referenced: The Vinegar Tasters, which can be seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinegar_tasters.
May your days begin with peace, and our lives become poetic places for the strange and the true safely to land.
