Nature and the Dao

There's an old, but non-cliched, saying among environmental lovers: "Nature bats last."

I tried recently applying that to Daoism. But ... no, doesn't work.

Makes it sound like the Dao is the other team. And it's not.

"Dao is the quarterback"? That's somewhat better, especially if one thinks of today's NFL, where the whole offense runs through the QB.

Still not quite right.

"The Dao is the dealer in a giant solitaire game"?

That's probably closer.

It's a metaphor I will work with more.

I'm stopping this post here for now.
