However, unlike traditions like Buddhism, Christianity, or Stoicism, Taoism does not view this as a static goal to be completed. Rather, like Jazz Music, the melody of life keeps changing and evolving and the key is to continually evolve ourselves to stay in harmony. Nature does not stop and neither should we. Taoism is a dynamic concept that invites us to continually create beauty with the universe. There is no end. </p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/wescecil\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Join Wes on Patreon</a> for a deeper dive into the ideas we explore on the podcast.
