Journey with me down the path of Chapter 2 of Tao Te Ching and how my first girlfriend taught me the same lesson. Action without acting, creation without owning, accomplishing without controlling.

Join me as I revisit one of the first articles I published online. My journey with Christianity is long and spans many articles, but this first one was the hardest I've ever written. It involves being ostracized, persecuted by church members, and shunned by those who I needed most.

I tried to up the production quality by adjusting my mic and adding into/outro music. Let me know what you think!

In this new season, I'll be reading many of my articles. First, I read Chapter 38 of Tao Te Ching and analyzed its meaning. What is a good person? Can you even be good? What is good, anyway? All these questions and more are answered!

Welcome to another episode of The Taoist Corner Podcast. Today, rather than continue our work through 365 Tao by Ding Ming-Dao, I’ll interview writer Heidi Pyper, who recently won The Taoist Online’s holiday writing contest!

Heidi Pyper's storytelling not only paints vivid pictures with words, but it also knits the very fabric of her being into each narrative. As this episode unfolds, she takes us on a deeply personal voyage, exploring the memories of her late father and the indelible impact of his surprise theatrical foray. Winner of the Taoist Online holiday writing contest, Heidi's voice is a mix of nostalgia and wonder as she reflects on the complexities of her writing journey. We navigate writers' often surprising decision-making process, examining how Medium has shaped her as a storyteller and the importance of choosing which memories to embrace and which to let flutter away like leaves in the wind.

You can read her touching and heart-warming winning story below.
