Episode 28 changes things up a bit from my normal approach. Today, we'll look at chapter 40, an extremely short chapter that leaves a lot open to the imagination. We'll start with a discussion of chapter 40, the self-giving nature of the divine, and the way that death and resurrection are built into the fabric of the universe. Then, I will follow a thread of meaning that I discovered in the chapter and develop it through a Taoist poetry slam, using four of my own poems and a few others to take us on a journey through our own spirituality.
