Tao Te Ching 35 (Teaching 1)

She who is centered in the Tao can go where she wishes, without danger.

She perceives the universal harmony, even amid great pain, because she has found peace in her heart.
________________________________________________

Staying centered in the way of life is the only safe place to live and the only way to find peace. Life cannot be other than it is this moment. We cannot change what has been and thus we cannot change what is. We should live in the center of life as it is right now; for it is only there that we are free of the fear that perceives danger. In that freedom, we may go where we wish.

Staying centered in the way of life is the only place from which we’re able to see the interconnectedness of all creation. Becoming aware of this inherent harmony is the path to a peaceful heart.
