I think I'm going to use a chapter from the Tao Te Ching as a text study. I've been fascinated by Taoist philosophy for years and have consciously used the ideas from this text to make decisions in my life, as well as contemplating it from and entirely intellectual standpoint.
More to follow as I consider which chapter (or theme across chapters) to study.

Here's a suggestion for a theme: the concept of "wu wei," sometimes translated as "action without action," or pure effortlessness. Seems like a parkour kind of thing.
big up! i was required to read lao tzu as a precondition to partying at one time, sadly i think i missed the point entirely then and i'm very excited to re-learn from you in a whole new context, if you care to share specifics of what you're looking at. also i think trying to consciously guide yourself with a philosophy you believe in (rather than just finding the philosophy that suits what you're doing already) is a brave move. (its sf)
