The Tao is emptiness, nothingness, the Void. From the Void comes all that is. Nature is emptiness. Nature is nothing-much-ness and everything-ness! Tai Chi is ... not trying to be anything.

Empty yourself of ego, ambition, attachment and fixed ideas about the way the world is. It is ... as it is. Come to terms with this Truth (it is as it is) and life can be faced with tranquility and be neither pessimistic nor optimistic but realistic.
