Living in accord with the Tao is getting out of the way of the Tao and aligning ourselves–our wants, wishes, goals and ways of being–with the Tao, which is the natural flow of life and being. If we want to move the Grand Canyon or the Grand Tetons we would be well served to change our mind and allow things to be as they are.

Knowing what’s what and how long they have been that what and what the forces are that keep things being that way is all we need to know to know what our chances are of getting things to be how we want them to be and what we might do instead to serve how things are and work with how things are to achieve our goals in sync with how things are and need to be.
