Four days into Bali - finally reunited with my husband after three months apart - and celebrating my birthday, I find myself reflecting on surrender, timing and the wisdom of the Tao Te Ching. My dad gifted me an illustrated book of the Tao Te Ching years ago while I was a young philosophy student. This week also marks the two year anniversary of his passing.
While on the flight to meet my husband, by chance, I stumbled on an audio talk I’d saved to listen to later by Dr Wayne Dyer. It’s resonating with me still some days later. Dr Dyer inspired me with his experiences spending a whole year living and embodying all 81 verses over a year.
Somehow, the wisdom of the Tao - or The Way - feels more relevant than ever, like a nudge from my dad to revisit these themes and apply them to our current situation.
In today’s video, I give you a quick tour around our bungalow here in Canggu, our second stop on our island tour, and share some reflections. As we settle into this four-week journey, today I’m enjoying an unplanned, leisurely birthday of unexpected treats. There have been a fair mixture of both ups and downs since arriving in Bali, but I’m noticing life’s gentle nudges and divinely guided chance encounters with curiosity.
With today’s Pisces Sun and Virgo Full Moon Eclipse powerfully activating my own Pisces Sun sign and Virgo Rising sign, I’m contemplating the balance between flow and form, trust and action, confusion and clarity. Sometimes, we’re like jellyfish, drifting in the currents. It doesn’t always feel easy to surrender to the flow of life, but perhaps allowing ourselves to drift a while with trust and no expectations may lead us exactly where we need to be. Even delays and mishaps may have hidden direction, and from time to time we stumble on places and situations that are even better than we could possibly have imagined!
I wonder if you ever had a book, teaching or sign show up at just the right moment?
Let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear your story.
