Taoism can be a somewhat obscurist belief system--the nature of the Tao leads to endless, almost concentric metaphors. I found a pleasant and accessible little essay on Taoism that is worth reading.

(I don't necessarily share the philosophy on all points, but it explains it nicely.)

All who seek the tao find that tao which they seek.
The tao within is not the tao.
The tao without is not the tao.
Do not seek the tao.
The tao will find you.

Heh.
I see you're on to my little pseudo-tao rap.
Maybe someday I'll post some of my bogus Gertrude Stein.

I've always been more of a dadaist than a taoist.
