I feel as though I may have derailed your ask Purex questions thread.
Naw, I just got distracted by the events of the day.
So two questions:
How much time do you spend in your day being one with everything and understanding what that means and how it affects your existence?
All, and none.
"All", in that as a Taoist, I am always within that 'flow of being', whether I'm aware of it, or not. And even whether I am foolishly fighting against it, trying to force my desires from or onto it, or I'm relaxed and at ease in it's loving arms (so to speak). The Tao is immutable. One of the things I like most about Taoism is that it is not about seeking. Or knowing. It's about
being. Just being. Authentic, honest, spontaneous, being. That's all. No doing is required. No understanding is required. In fact, in pursuing these things we lose our appreciation of that being. We become "lost" even though we aren't lost at all. Relax, breathe, and you're back. Because you never left.
And "none" in the sense that it's not about understanding. Not even really about awareness and appreciation (though these are wonderful gifts). It's about letting go of the fear-control. And just 'dancing with the circumstances', instead. And I have gotten much better at this over the years.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how would you rate Schitt's Creek and why?
I watched the first season way back when it came out, but then it seemed to vanish for a couple of years. (At least from whatever media source I'd gotten it.) When I finally bumped into it again, I'd lost interest. I remember it being very quirky, and interesting for that reason, but somehow that wasn't enough to get me to look into it, again. I am not much for sit-coms. I do tend to avoid them, generally.
