    The Dance of Opposites | Verse 2 | Tao Te Ching

    When does night become day? Where exactly does easy end and difficult begin? This week we're reading Verse Two from Stephen Mitchell's translation of the Tao Te Ching—a short passage about opposites, contrast, and why we exhaust ourselves trying to cling to only one side of life. We'll talk about mountains and valleys, cold drinks on hot days, and what it means to act without forcing. Pour some coffee. Take a breath. Let's sit with this for a few minutes.

    A Quiet Return | Verse 1 | Tao Te Ching

    After some time away, I’m returning with a simpler format: short, calm episodes centered around the Tao Te Ching one verse at a time. In this first episode, we begin with Verse One, a reminder that the deepest parts of life can’t always be captured in words, labels, or names. This is a space for quiet reflection, a cup of coffee, and a few honest thoughts. No rush. No pressure. Just a little room to breathe. Verse featured: Tao Te Ching, Verse One Theme: The unnamed, the mystery, and letting life be what it is Verses are read from Stephen Mitchell’s translation of the Tao Te Ching. Thanks for listening. I’ll be back soon with the next verse.

    Marcus Aurelius: Ancient Lessons for Modern Times

    Marcus Aurelius was a Stoic philosopher, and his Meditations are infused with Stoic teachings. Stoicism is a philosophy that emphasizes the importance of living in accordance with virtue and reason. Stoics believe that we should not be attached to external things, such as wealth, fame, or pleasure, because these things are beyond our control. Instead, we should focus on developing our own inner character and living in a way that is consistent with our values. The Meditations is a deeply insightful and practical book that can offer guidance on how to deal with a wide range of challenges, from everyday annoyances to major tragedies. Marcus Aurelius's writings are full of wisdom and compassion, and they can help us to live more fulfilling and resilient lives. if you would like to help The Coffee Buzz please tell a friend about us and as always thank you for listening!
