Map and Art 10.22.19
While looking at the map in the GHS book, it has come to my attention on how closely different cultures and nations and groups of people are to each other. We learn in school from a young age, that how we act and what we wear and stuff we do is all from other nations …

While reading the Tao Te Ching #58 really made me think about our world we live in today. It made me think of how many different perspectives that we have, and that we are all entitled too. It talks about the Government, and when it’s quiet people are “cool ad refreshed” and when it’s talking, …
Yin and Yang
Reading these pages in Change and Tradition was very interesting about learning more in depth about the Yin and Yang.
