Random chapter of the Tao Te Ching:
54
Whoever is planted in the Tao
will not be rooted up.
Whoever embraces the Tao
will not slip away.
Her name will be held in honor
from generation to generation.
Let the Tao be present in your life
and you will become genuine.
Let it be present in your family
and your family will flourish.
Let it be present in your country
and your country will be an example
to all countries in the world.
Let it be present in the universe
and the universe will sing.
How do I know this is true?
By looking inside myself.
Ah -- I needed to read this today. Thanks for reminding me of the wisdom of the Tao. I like to dip into it randomly, too, as you've noted here. I got started with Wayne Dyer's essays on the Tao, at another writer's suggestion.

Yes ... I have the CD version of Wayne Dyer's book on the Tao, to listen to while driving.
