Verse one of the Tao suggests, "The Way is nameless." From a timely perspective, this principle stands out, as it is an election Tuesday in America, a day in which candidates from the two major political parties are vying for the votes of its citizenry. As our society has done with most things, our scholars, intelligentsia if you will, have attempted to define the inexplicable by categorizing it based on names or labels. Republicans, Democrats, moderates, liberals, progressives are just some of the categories that have been established to make people rest assure that these candidates share the same values. Yet greater questions loom. Do these candidates actually stand for the same values as me? Are they actually committed to such things as an adequate healthcare for all, improved public schools with satisfied teachers, and a world in which we can in all live together in peace? With all due respect, I would be interested in knowing what do the scholars call this? Can they give a label to peace across the globe, a robust economy, and hope for the future? I ask this question in view of the notion, "The Way is nameless." Let us remember this as we journey.
Peace and blessings!

The Tao...I will have to do some research on this practice but as always, you are on the cutting edge of information.
