Well, we've come to the end of the second series on the Daodejing (Tao Te Ching) to appear on this blog. Will this represent the last time we examine this pivotal document of philosophical Taoism? Hardly! I'm confident we will revisit it multiple times in the future.
As I searched the web for posts to feature for each verse, my heart was warmed to find so many individuals discussing Taoist themes. In fact, I've found several blogs just beginning their own analysis of the TTC. Many of these were not featured in this series solely because we had already gone beyond the verses they are now posting.
I hope you have each enjoyed this series. The whole reason for doing it was to showcase what OTHER people are thinking and writing about in relation to the words of Lao Tzu. For those of you who followed the link to each day's post, maybe you have found a new blog or two to follow on a regular basis.
In the end, what anyone -- including Scott or me -- has to say about the Tao Te Ching or Zhuangzi is not nearly as important as what YOU think about it. The sentiments behind all the words are merely fingers pointing at the moon.
You won't find Tao on this or any blog. YOU must experience the mystery for yourself!
