Chapter 1: Tao

ok, did Ch1 curled around my meditation buddy on the bed.   I've tried the cross-legged thing which is ok for people who have sat that way since they were two, heck when my kids were two they could casually stick their feet in their mouths, I'm a bit past that stage.

Chapter 1 is, logically "Tao" which in this version is a symbol of a cute little guy with his hair flying everywhere and a running (I keep thinking wind) symbol above a picture of a bent leg.

It seems awfully dynamic an image for something that often makes me think of old guys sitting humming to themselves.

The theme seemed to be "don't define Tao or you'll limit it" which is also logical, the purpose of defining things is to make definite "something" out of it so you can use it as a tool.  Hard to weild the infinite.

Maybe I should do this a week at a time instead of a day at a time, or maybe do it a day at a time and then go in depth.  I'll have to give that some thought.

There, isn't he cute?

The leg thing got me at first, but think of looking at a bent knee from the side, it could be an elbow too, if you like.

I think the face is neat for defining areas rather than features, left eye area, right eye area, two lips and space for a nose (if anime is any indication orientals aren't much on noses anyway).  :-)

Swirlies for movement is standard human fare.
