It’s just another sunrise wearing a different name.
The week doesn’t decide your energy — you do.
Take a breath, start where you are, and let the day unfold instead of managing it.

Taoism isn’t about escaping the world.
It’s about being present in it — wind, noise, heartbreak and all.
Stillness is not hiding. It’s knowing when to stop chasing the next wave.
