"Tao" is usually translated as road, channel, path, way, doctrine, or line.
the natural, eternal, spontaneous, indescribable way things began and pursued their course to Taoists.
Tao can be roughly stated to be the flow of the universe, or the force behind the natural order, equating it with the influence that keeps the universe balanced and ordered.
The literal meaning of wu wei is "without action". It is often expressed by the paradox wei wu wei, meaning "action without action" or "effortless doing".The practice and efficacy of wu wei are fundamental in Taoist thought, most prominently emphasized in Taoism. The goal of wu wei is alignment with Tao, revealing the soft and invisible power within all things. It is believed by Taoists that masters of wu wei can observe and follow this invisible potential, the innate in-action of the Way.
Since Geminis are a mix of the yin and the yang, they are represented perfectly by the Twins. The Gemini-born can easily see both sides of an issue, a wonderfully practical quality.
Being a dual sign has (of course) both an up and a down-side. You are vitally interested in what's new and fashionable, though you have a healthy skepticism which allows you to see both sides of the image. You are a party animal, but like to sit back and analyse, or send up the whole procedure.
You multiply the effects of other people's energy, but can become deflated if you are out of the limelight for any length of time. Your sharp wit and excellent powers of observation make you a good raconteur, although you have a tendency to exaggerate which can cause trouble with your relationships.
You really have little faith in yourself, which you mask with ironic wit or sarcasm, but in truth you can use your flexible mind to better yourself in a surprising number of ways. You spend more time talking than eating, so you are able to stay fairly slim.
You love zooming around, running right left and centre. As a source of information you are unparalleled and you love to keep in touch with your friends, neighbours and indeed anyone who is on your wavelength.
it all ties together.
just some things i've noticed. i've been doing an oral presentation and research paper on taoism and i've fallen in love. its everything i've believed. i've never believed in horoscopes, but its scary how right mine is. i mean... even the twins part of it.... and you're a gemini too.

rolling was crazy. scary. but totally worth it. touching anything felt so right. the music was my heart beat. i could SEE the music. i had my eyes closed the whole time because i didnt need vision, i just knew everything. i knew what was going on. i was so in touch with my senses that it was almost scary. i didnt hallucinate like i was supposed to, but i'm glad i didnt. those images they had playing were trippy enough as it is. i've grown to fucking love miami. its a crazy town. so many people from canada and russia and california were just droooling over it, and i live here.
prom was epic. a blast. i realized that i barely hang out with my senior friends, and they're awesome. i'm gunna miss all of them :/

after my trip on friday night, i thought i was gunna die. i didnt drink water like i was supposed to, so i started feeling sick. i didnt fall asleep until 9 am saturday. i looked up my symtoms, and i was suffering from severe dehydration... and i had no food in my stomach. i felt like dying. web sites kept telling me i needed to be put on an IV and under special treatment, but i said fuck it. i just started eating and chugging water. i finally got better by 4 in the afternoon, so i headed over to Ultra.
i'm still dancing, and the beats are still in my head.
*sigh* life, you're crazy.
