El Tao De Pooh

Fun. Just a great idea that wasn’t drawn out too much
funny informative lighthearted relaxing medium-paced

the how of pooh: the basic principle of taoism is to follow the natural order of things which will make life sweet

the tao of who: p'u or the uncarved block represents things in their natural state 

spelling tuesday: confucianism and Western scholars focus too much on knowledge for the sake of knowledge

cottleston pie: the principle of utilizing things as they are (the knotty tree) and knowing your own limitations and inner nature rather than trying to be clever

the pooh way: wu Wei, doing without doing/without meddlesome egotistical effort. go with the flow effortlessly and listen to your intuition 

bisy backson: don't be constantly busy. instead of saving time, spend it wisely. the greatest joy is in the process, not the goal

that sort of bear: believing in your own value and power
tz'u: caring or compassion, from which comes courage and wisdom to take risks

nowhere and nothing: the value of Nothing. wisdom and enlightenment comes from a clear mind, like children

So cute, very insightful.

This quote touched my soul: "Do you want to be really happy? You can begin by being appreciative of who you are and what you've got." Such a lovely book and fed my mind calmingly. I love Pooh Bear!
