Taoism vs Karma When the Two Collide in Disharmony by Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7igXDe4ckdM https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRTVWY3K This book has been compiled to invoke debate, question, discuss and more. No offense to anyone is intended, but rather it is my hope that bridges will be built, strengthened and forever forged strong, by those who seek to tear down walls of judgement and hostility, in favor of understanding, education and tolerance.

Echo Canyon

The trail descended into a narrow gorge where red rock walls rose sheer on both sides, smooth and sculpted by ancient water. The path followed a dry streambed, sand and smooth stones underfoot, and the walls leaned inward, creating a roof of sky that seemed impossibly distant. Sound behaved strangely here – my footsteps echoed and re-echoed, bouncing between the walls until they became something other than footsteps, a rhythm that seemed to come from the canyon itself. I stopped walking...

Event complexity requires both leading and following. Confront attendees with their power to influence, as well as to exercise their freedom.

Fang Song: The Taoist Art of Deep Relaxation in Motion

Fang Song (放鬆), often translated simply as “relaxation,” represents one of the most fundamental yet frequently misunderstood principles in Tai Chi Chuan, qigong, and all Nei Jia (internal martial arts) practices. The concept describes a state of relaxed openness that differs fundamentally from Western notions of either muscular tension or limp collapse, instead cultivating what practitioners call “relaxed structure” or “dynamic relaxation” where the body rema...

I wrote a poem that I like. It's called:
Bluejay Doesn't Know About the Zendo
It wouldn't fit here so I put it in my Gemini capsule. If you can't view that, I also put it on a web page. The poem is about Buddhist practice, sort of. If that's your thing, check it out.

The Beekeeper’s Dance

The apiary sat at the edge of an orchard, twenty white boxes arranged in neat rows among blooming apple trees. I’d come looking for honey but found something more interesting – a beekeeper working without gloves, veil, or any protection, her movements slow and deliberate as she lifted frames heavy with bees. She wore ordinary clothes, her grey hair pulled back in a braid, and the bees crawled over her hands, her arms, her shoul...
