聖人 The sage...
感而後應,feels and only then resonates
迫而後動,is compelled and only then moves
不得已而後起。has no alternative and only then rises.
去知與故,departs from knowledge and is together with what was there beforehand
循天之理,follows the natural pattern.
ZhuangZi - Outer Chapters - Ingraved Ideas
That's my favourite passage from the ZhuangZi but permit me a word or two of introduction.
My name is Alistair, orginally from the north of England but currently living and working as a massage therapist in Northern Arizona. I'm in the process of starting my own business, Find The Gap - hence the handle.
Why Find The Gap?
Well, I'll explain that in my next post.
When I'm not rubbing oil on to the skin of complete strangers or making them move in unsual ways, I geek out on human anatomy and movement. I have a background in Chinese medicine, philosophy, history & language and more than a passing interest in the culture, language and history of Korea and Japan.
I'll be posting about my exploration of human anatomy as I experience it in myself and as I encounter it in my professional practice. Occassionally these experiences, at least in my opinion, have some relevance to Chinese medicine or philosophy, when that happens I'll throw my musings out there for all and sundry to pick apart.
Welcome to steemit! You will enjoy it! Continue doing good post.

Chinese medicine, that's a valuable asset. Would love to ask you a quick question, I am currently fascinated by herbs used by Dao, is that part of Chinese medicine?

@gentlesoul (nice handle) do you mean what herbs are used by followers of the Dao? i.e. The Daoists? Yes, some of the herbs they use will be part of Chinese medicinal herbal canon. Although some will not. @threefields you wanna chime in on this? ;-)
