Christopher Brainerd blogs about his journey into Buddhism

This is a collection of Christopher Brainerd's ramblings written as a novice student of Buddhism.
My primary practice is Jodo Shinshu, yet I ramble on many spiritual topics.
Some of what follows is original, some are quotes or summations for which I provide the source.
Gassho!

Tao

The Tao is going with the flow, to be the flow.
Don’t fight against the current,
Follow the path of least resistance.
But it is not passive.
If you are passive and don’t move,
You will sink to the bottom and drown
Or end up damming the water behind.
Or if you are passive and apathetic,
The current make carry you into jagged rocks
Or you may get hit by branches floating in the stream.
So pay attention.
