I've noted an interesting trend lately. As I perform my frequent searches of blogs mentioning and/or discussing aspects of Taoism, I've noticed that the number is increasing. It seems more and more people are feeling estranged and alienated by the ethos of modern society and are looking for an altogether different worldview. While Taoism certainly isn't the ONLY perspective of this nature, it does seem to be attracting more and more people.
Four scant days ago in my latest installment of New Voices Along the Path, I wrote that the Taoist Wanderers section in the right sidebar was up to 163 links. It is now 8 beyond that (171 for those of you at home keeping score) and there are a few more links in my saved folder that I will be checking out today or tomorrow. At the rate I'm going, it wouldn't surprise me at all if I pass the 200 link mark by the middle of summer.
As indicated at the top of the right sidebar, new links are denoted by an asterisk (*). If you haven't explored any of the new links recently, now might be a good time to do so. There are a lot of marvelous writers who are contributing thoughts and insights to the overall tapestry we call philosophical Taoism.
Let me simply point out one: Nothing Just Is. The blog was started by a group of folks in a book club who have been reading three different versions of the Tao Te Ching. The group decided to synthesize the three versions and they are posting the verses one-by-one. Sounds to me like an interesting project and I will certainly be checking them out daily.
