Stepping Out

Proverb for December:
A journey of a thousand miles
Begins beneath the feet

Google translation:
千里の旅
足の下から始まります

The Tao Te Ching (roughly translated as “the way of integrity”) is an 81 verse treatise on how to live in the world with goodness and integrity. Consensus suggests that the text was written around 400BC by Laozi (old master). The actual name of the writer has been lost to time. The quote, “A journey of a thousand miles begins beneath the feet” is from chapter 64 and explains that even the more challenging ventures begin with a single step. This seems like a fitting way to end our year of collaboration.
