Umbrella, light, landscape, sky -   There is no language of the holy.  The sacred lies in the ordinary.  ~ Deng Ming-Dao  Today's show begins with Rob reading from a devotional titled 365 Tao.  This treasury of life-enhancing daily readings turns a wise Taoist light on every facet of life.  Each daily entry begins with a one-word title and it's Chinese character in elegant calligraphy.  A brief, poetic aphorism provides the theme, followed by a clear, insightful meditation on the day's Taoist principle.    Join Rob as he begins with some thoughts on the day's meditation on "Night" and how it ties into the holiday season and Christmas.  The day's meditation was a deep and lengthy meditation and led Rob down some interesting thought trains is typical of the Tao.  It is always darkest before the dawn.  For many of us experiencing change and transition in life...the change can be challenging and demands so much from us.  That's why we're here - to learn and grow with one another.  You are not alone.  Join the All Around Growth Community Group Chat on Telegram and find your tribe.   Today's episode will be the last "official" episode of the year.  See you in 2022 (unless I decide to drop a bonus episode!).~   Disclaimer : There are affiliate links in this article, where you also have the opportunity to support the podcast and the community by utilizing products or services actively being put to use by the community.   Links:   365 Tao,  by Deng Ming-Dao  FREE DOWNLOAD - 2022 Goal Setting Workbook  Find balance in your life NOW - download the workbook and put it to use. All Around Growth Community Group Chat (Telegram)  ~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~  Connect and share on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowthTelegram Broadcast Channel - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcastTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in December 2021 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at allaroundgrowth@gmail.comSupport the showBecome a Patreon of the Show! ➡️ patreon.com/allaroundgrowth
