Let's make this verb way of looking at life more personal and less abstract.
This article is and always has been a potential (egg) within me. Its father was a combination of my own desire to write and the words of my wife.
The conception of this article mirrors cosmic process and cosmic process is referred to as the Way. The Way does not entice you to follow it. Whether you believe in it or not doesn't matter. It doesn't care. Why? Because it has no ego that says, "Hey, you need to worship me!" Tao is NOT jealous.
The curse of God in Genesis saying to Eve (Labor) that we give birth in pain is a curse upon all of us. Yet, I become ecstatically happy when writing articles like this. When writing, I am Eve in the Garden. Yet, I growl every time it snows here in Maine and I have to shovel (this is Eve under the rule of Adam, the Ego that says, "I must shovel in order to be a decent human being").
Ah, to be of the labor class. "Work Tramp, Work," saith the Lord of Western Civilization in the disguise of the Koch Brothers.
Our lives as women and men are both verb and noun.
The process of creating this article is a verb. So is its reading. The light (yang) containing information inherent in this article enters the black pupils of your eyes and travel to the back of the brain where you conceive its image (yin).
Believe it or not, this is the Tao, the Way, the dance of Yin (the pupils) and Yang (these words) is always at play. Don't like the name Tao, call it by whatever name your heart desires. There is no jealousy in Tao.
