The way of transformation begins within. By renewing ourselves in daily meditations we discover a deep source of inner peace which causes greater peace around us. Our inner and outer worlds are intrinsically related. We can transform our world by transforming our attitude. Living the Tao is more than an intellectual exercise. It is the path with heart. The lesson of the tortoise, setting aside daily periods of withdrawal to nurture the powerful energy of Tao. The Tao teaches that we're responsible for the peace in our lives. It's up to us to keep our energies in balance. (Tao Peace, p38-45)
