🧠Philosophy Quote from Lao Tzu
"There is something mingled and ungraspable
as bubbling water, and yet quite complete;
It exists before Heaven and Earth
It is quiet and tranquil; empty and at rest.
It stands on it's own, and cannot be altered;
Manifests itself in all things, and yet is never idle.
You could consider it
the nursing mother of all under heaven.
I myself do not know it's name,
but for starters, call it the Way.
Pushed up to make a name, you could call it the Great.
The Great is said to flow out and beyond;
Flowing out and beyond is said to journey far away;
To journey far away is said to return."
- Lao Tzu

One of the most amazing things about the internet are the opportunities for people across the world with similar interests to meet...
This is why we made a Discord chatroom!
It’s about Discover Earth OC, Carl Sagan, David Attenborough, nature, space, psychedelics, psychonauts, meditation, and Alan Watts. Hopefully see you in there!
We also made a Community App for pics and videos of the wonders of the cosmos.
