Those who anchor us are often unseen. Sometimes, even the anchors need anchoring. Repose is self-healing and nurturing.
Life often feels like a constant journey of endless “Either/Or.” Taoism, with its Yin-Yang principle, invites us to step off that exhausting path and embrace a more balanced middle way, which reduces stress and enhances well-being.
