Recently I listened to a short podcast about Dao/Tao. 人法地，地法天，天法道，道法自然
quick translation of the above is: human imitates the earth, the earth imitates heaven, heaven imitates Dao (the way), Dao imitates being (自然 means nature, so one interpretation - which was my initial understanding - was Dao imitates nature, but a second interpretation is Dao is "being")
It said Dao is "be" (who we are). The article explained: it's like a dog would not want to behave like a human, and a fish will not want to fly in the sky, the Dao is being who we are.
Ha, this is like what I learned in Yoga. We just be who we are! Except that human also wants to swim in the ocean and fly in the sky and we created lots of technologies to achieve what we are not naturally able to achieve.
-- Something to think about
