What's in a name?

Gull_Flies“The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.”

– Lao Tsu, Tao Te Ching

Is your name actually who you are?

Who are you without your name?
Wondering about this is the inner path. Turning inward, towards our own personal mystery leads back to the Mysterious Source of Everything, sometimes called the Tao.

  • What are the steps along the path?
  • What is the best way to get there?

Each of us finds our own answers to these to questions. It is a solo journey, a life’s work. But many have gone before and have left behind clues, thoughts and inspiration. Below is a list of some of my favorites.
