A gently rebellious 21st century take on the Tao Te Ching—one short chapter at a time. No robes, no incense, just scruffy wisdom, Tai Chi tips, and tea-stained reflections for modern life. Think calm, not clichés. Perfect for over-thinkers, under-doers, and anyone ready to slow down without nodding off. Based on reflections from book.

“The Tao does nothing, yet everything gets done.” While the world hurries to build pyramids out of inboxes and to-do lists, the Tao lounges quietly in the corner, watching it all unfold. In Tai Chi, it’s the shoulder tha
“The more you yield, the further you fly.” Believe what appears on your time line and you’ll be forgiven for thinking that pushing, striving, and coming out on top, is what it’s all about. But the Tao slips quietly into
“Find the centre of your teacup… and you’ll find your own centre too.” While the world flaps about with flashing lights and loud speakers, the Tao waits in the quiet streets where nobody’s looking. In Tai Chi, it’s not a
“The Tao doesn’t ask for applause.” It’s the cracked teacup, the forgotten breeze, the quiet tick of something old still doing its job. No need to find answers in temples or textbooks. It’s in the way you stand. The way
“Deep wisdom is like the roots under your patio.” Tai Chi is unlikely to ever go viral. We don’t edit our movements to look good—at least I hope not. It’s not trying to be impressive - just honest. Maybe that has value i
“You can’t hold water in a clenched fist.” The Tao doesn’t brand itself, or hand out pamphlets. It just… turns up. Like an unexpected purr at my back door. It’s only when I stop trying so hard that, funnily enough, thing
“Let your strength come from not needing to use it.” As a schoolboy in a woodwork class I was given a project to create something unusual. I carved out an ornate pair of nunchaku. This was back in 1976. I thought it was
“Walk like you’re carrying nothing but your own breath.” Looking around, you’d be forgiven in thinking that force might well win. But only in the moment— never a future. Whether it’s swords or opinions, the more sharply
“Try to hold it all, and you’ll end up with full hands and an empty heart.” Sometimes I try to sort life like it’s a sock drawer: label it, optimise it, tick it off. But life doesn’t fit in boxes. It flows, spills, escap
“You are not the masterpiece. You’re part of the brushstroke.” Forget polished. Forget perfect. Embrace the rough bits, the wobble in the form. No-one is asking you to be flawless, it just asks you to show up. In Tai Chi
“A brushstroke in the rain.” This is not a TED Talk. Not a Story or a Reel. Just a quiet act that mattered, even if no one noticed. You don’t have to leave a trail of receipts. Do what needs doing, and slip off before so
“Stillness isn’t doing nothing.” It’s the breath before the kettle clicks off, the weight behind the wiggle. Stillness protects us from the newsfeed, the noise, the urge to constantly leap into action. In Tai Chi, we cal
“We’re borrowed atoms wrapped in skin.” Way back—before time was counted, before clocks, calendars, and digital co-pilots - back when things just were, things didn’t need branding. They just flowed. Quite big, not loud b
“The stars shine without applause.” I’m not convinced that when the Milky Way shines, it does so for applause. It just glows—quietly, consistently, above all our noise. In Tai Chi, we find this in the pause as Waving Han
Neither should we. Storms pass. Conversations end. Even the drizzle in Manchester eventually takes a tea break. Nothing hangs around forever, not the weather, not your latest bad mood, not even that awkward thing you sai
Not bad advice for knees, and not a bad way to live, either. Strength doesn’t always mean standing firm, it can mean stepping aside, sinking slightly, or letting go of the need to be right. In Tai Chi, we don’t brace for
Sometimes I try to explain something and realise halfway through I’ve completely lost the plot. But that’s life. This is not a stage, there are no big reveals. No neon signs, no “You’ve arrived” notification. Life just w
I’m not chasing upgrades or next-day delivery. Maybe it’s just me, but I can afford to wait. Life should not be a race. And s when someone shouts behind you - “Hurry up!” Turn and quietly reply, Nah, I’m alright, thanks.
I read “10 Ways to Be a Better Human” yesterday and ended up feeling worse than when I started. Couldn’t help thinking it was trying to fix things that were not broken. Life’s not an IKEA manual. Sometimes, you’ve got to
I find that the more signs a place has—“Don’t sit here,” “No ball games,” “Mind the step” “No sitting, no standing, no running, no talking” — the less fun it usually is. When we lose the flow, we compensate with a hi-vis
