| I am exploring the idea of fluidity in relation to the context of the Chinese philosophic thinking- the Tao. The Tao seen as the basic essence of the universe that makes the world keep going on. It is the power of nature, it has fluid form. Tao is that vital component that is not there but that is indispensable to the process of change.
The Tao is the source of the existence of everything. It is the originally starter in the natural world. It has limitless potential and creativeness, the vigorous vital principle of everything in the world is built on the behavior of creations from the potential of the Tao. Tao underpins 'my way of being', and in a way which allows for flow, change, contingency, chance. The Tao is the same word with 'way' in Chinese. It also could be the standard of morality.
The Tao can be looked at but not seen, listened to but not heard, reached for but not obtained; its name is formless, soundless and intangible. Therefore it is beyond the human analysis; an omnipresent energy known only by the intuitive mind.
How do I find and know my way? I follow and trusting my intuition, I allow the flow.
