Welcome back to The Tao Te Ching podcast.

I’m really glad you’re here again.

Today, we’ll explore the chapter 15 of the Tao Te Ching, where Lao Tzu turns from the mystery itself to the people who lived close to it. He paints portraits, not of the Tao, but of those who practiced it. And what he describes surprises us.

Because the men and women who walked with the Tao did not look brilliant or confident or triumphant. They looked hesitant. They looked rough. They looked like muddy water.

In this episode, we turn to the wisdom of inner seasons.

Like nature, our own lives move through cycles of creativity, abundance, reflection, and stillness.

To ignore these rhythms is to live against our nature; to honor them is to rediscover harmony with time itself.

Inspired by Taoist teachings, this meditation invites you to slow down, to observe without judgment, and to inhabit your days as a tree inhabits its season.

It’s been a little while: the year turned, the days folded into each other, celebrations passed, silences too.And perhaps, like me, you’ve been living and not always reflecting, not always listening, just moving along with what was asked of you.
