As personal commentary is sometimes useful, we might include our own thoughts and feelings about the passages we
present. Here's an example of a format we might use:

Passage to live by
"In dwelling, be close to the land. In meditation, go deep in the heart. In dealing with others, be gentle and kind.
In speech, be true. In ruling, be just. In daily life, be competent. In action, be aware of the time and the season." -
Lao Tzu
Commentary:
We oftentimes find ourselves obsessing on things which don't really matter. This passage,
taken from "Tao Te Ching," reminds us that the basic principles of life can and should be simple.
