TRAVEL

Body is the tabernacle.
Traveling one thousand miles,
The gods are still in place.


The body is the temple of the gods. It should be kept clean and
pure, so that the holiest of events can take place. Sacred, it should be
kept undefiled. Consecrated, its interior is where the deepest questions
are explored.

In olden times, the devout carried tabernacles so that they could
keep up their devotions when far from their homes. Their gods were
inside these boxes, protected and treasured. Followers of Tao believe
that the gods are within themselves. Therefore, wherever they go, they
carry the gods within them.

During their travels, when they come to a resting place, they open
not a receptacle but themselves. They carry their sense of "place"
within themselves. Even while sojourning, they remain oriented to their
inner sacredness. Perhaps they can even make breakthroughs more quickly,
for the preoccupations of the mind are no longer present to interfere
with the flow of the divine. Once people connect to their inner
strength, there is no end to the wonders of travel.
