‘Sometimes we will never know the ‘true value’ of this moment until it becomes a memory.’

The Tao Te Ching teaches us to practice more time in ‘self-awareness’ and less time ‘doing’. It says, ‘Practice not-doing, and everything will fall into place.’
The central theme the Tao Te Ching teaches us to be aware of, is not the world, but ourselves. It says, ‘Love the world as your self, then you can care for all things.‘
At the end of each day I ask myself one question, ‘What did you value in the moments you were given?’
LIVING IN THIS MOMENT 
Karen, love this… we really don’t appreciate the now as much as we could… as the wiser we become we do learn to slow down and enjoy each simple moment! AND this is exactly what life is all about, to realise the beauty, the value and that it all comes from within❤️ Beautiful post, Thankyou❤️
Thank you Barbara! I totally agree and appreciate your comment 💕🧡
Big Question!
An important question! And look how much you value and appreciate nature, each and every day. ☀️
Truth!!!!
Good question and reminder, Karen. 💕
Thank you Eliza 🥰
The Dao de Jing is such an insightful philosophy, Karen, and this less you have brought to light with this post is special ~ yes, to the value of now. Wishing you well.
And Yes to the beautiful world we live in! Thank you for capturing the beauty of now through your photos and your words Randall. 👏🙏🏻
Thank you for this. It is time for me to revisit Lao Tsu … when I return from Tuscany. The land and people are the same and send you lots of love 💖
Bellissimo My beautiful Tuscany! Enjoy every moment Val. Much love to you too 💕🧡
Tuscany is such a gem. We are enjoying the everyday and special moments after the pandemic. For example our favorite restaurant owner hummed the striptease song as he revealed his face and gave us both huge hugs. 😄😎💖
Oh you are making me miss Tuscany! I hope to return next year. Enjoy it all Val. 🥰🧡
I really like that final question. Thank you for sharing
Thank you Ali 🧡💕🥰
