A Splash And Half A Dash
The title refers to the old English habit of adding a dash of soda water to brandy or some other drink. When we decide to walk the path of Tao, we want to do so whole heartedly. We want to commit to the way of the Tao. We do not want to water down our quest by making it a part-time hobby; something to do only when we are in the mood, or it is convenient. What works for whiskey or brandy will not be as efficient for living as one with Tao. We want to experience the Tao at full strength. This may require some sacrifice. We may have to change our ways. It is worth it however to have inner harmony and harmony with all around you.
