"Tao is the road up your spine.
Tao is the road of your life.
Tao is the road of the cosmos."
"...take these three levels--the movement of energy up the spine [our connectedness to the ten thousand things], the philosophical understanding of one's own path in life [mind/spirit-inventory], and the very progression of the universe [humility]--and meld them all into one combined concept. Then you will have a glimpse of the genius of Tao."
