What is it to be aligned with the Tao? To be aligned with Tao is to be one with the universe. So we may ask, what is the universe? Perhaps it would be better to ask ourselves what is not the universe, for the universe is everywhere. It is in the mind and in the heart. It flows through our veins and bodies in the form of chi. It is everything we see with the eye or hear with the ear. It is in the beauty of the rose and too is it in the thorn that protects it.
