OPTIMAL

If you are best in the morning,
Cultivate Tao in the morning.
If you are best in the evening,
Cultivate Tao in the evening.

Whatever the optimal time of day is for you, you should devote it to
the cultivation of Tao. For example, dawn, when it is quiet, the world
is fresh, and the mind is untainted by the day's events, is an ideal
time to devote yourself to study. Morning, the time of birth, should not
be wasted on a quick breakfast, a hastily read newspaper, and a manic
rush to work. If is far better to awake from peaceful sleep, wash
yourself, drink clear water, and immerse yourself in the rising energy
of the day.

If your optimal time is evening, there are two propitious intervals:
twilight, when day and night come into balance, and midnight, when the
first breath of the coming day arises. In the night, worldly cares are
put aside, rest and relaxation are paramount, and the entire world
withdraws into nocturne. Night is the time of regeneration, and it
should not be wasted on wanton entertainment, indulgent sexuality, and
too much sleep. It is far better to retire from the cares of the day,
bathe, and immerse yourself in the gestating power of the dark.
