Translated literally as 'The Way' or 'The Path', Tao is a name for the eternally nameless, for the primordial essence, for the fabric out of which all things in the universe are made and from which all universal energies flow. Like water it is in its essential nature undifferentiated. Like a river that never runs dry, the Tao endlessly replenishes itself.

In Zen Buddhism, Tao is 'The Way' with Buddha-nature and Buddha-mind. Tao, or Dao, is the sense and expression of the relationship between the void and the plenum, the natural balance between opposites. It is soft and quiet but immensely powerful. It is the Tao that keeps the universe balanced and ordered.

This TAO album has been inspired to follow its own path... 

The universal Tao and the purity of creation bring all things into being. Reaching a balance between mind and body, a relationship is formed forever bound in a harmony of love. Through ongoing practices the Tao's guiding embrace can lead the way to anenlightened path. The seed of purity reside

Esprit DÁrmenie   Jordi Savall

Returning to my native village after many years’ absence: 
Ill, I put up at a country inn and listen to the rain. 
One robe, one bowl is all I have. 
I light incense and strain to sit in meditation; 
All night a steady drizzle outside the dark window --  
Inside, poignant memories of these long years of pilgrimage.
(Ryōkan, 18th century, translated by John Stevens)

This lovely music came to me more or less as a gift: some weeks back I recorded the piano (https://soundcloud.com/cis-minor/21st-century-monk-free). The incredible Soulful Woods felt inspired to create an enchanting flute expression - we already planned to do a collab for some longer time. 
From the first time I had heard his music I was intrigued by the sound, the authenticity and the depth of emotional expression in his flute play. His music is pure and thorough. Listening to his music is bringing peace and awareness to me, but still it breathes some sense of solitude and sorrow.
