ACCESSIBILITY

As long as the sun rises
And your heart beats,
Tao is at hand.


People think that Tao can only be known through fairy-tale stories
of old men in the mountains or obscure poetry about gods riding dragons.
Others declare that elaborate ritual, frightening talismans, and
mumblings from the depths of spirit possession are necessary for
understanding. This is simply not true. Why put another's experience
before your own? Tao is in each of us. Admittedly, an individual's
common ignorance usually obscures awareness of Tao, but this does not
mean that there is no Tao or that it is not important. Tao is there for
us to experience any time that we can open ourselves to it.

Is the sun shining? Does night follow day? Is the sky blue? Do you
have feeling? Then it is possible to know Tao directly and immediately.
Don't delay, don't think yourself too insignificant. Feel for it. Right
now. As long as you are alive, Tao is right at hand.
