So I'm sitting here in the dark, working on #Medium and trying to get my #profile, #website, and #theme adjusted. It's times like these where I enjoy the calm before the storm. I'm often reminded of how back and forth #life can be sometimes. From extreme #busy to extreme #silence.

Chapter 15 in the #Tao Te Ching that states:

"Who can be still
until their mud settles
and the water is cleared by itself?
Can you remain tranquil until right action occurs by itself?"

Sometimes, when you allow situations to settle, the answer will arrise all by itself. You don't need to force the outcome or stress. You only need to remain #calm and #vigilant.

I struggle with this with my #children and #wife. At #work, I'm cool, collected, and #pragmatic. But with my #family I'm quick to #emotion and #stuburn in my understanding of the situation. I suppose work is my #yin and my family is my #yang.

Like a crane waiting for a fish. be still and you will be provided for.
