Voyage to the Sun: A Children's Version of the Tao te Ching Quotes

“The walk across the street can seem long, like walking across town. Grown-ups with real magic sometimes seem very ordinary. If you know of anyone who is a really good person, they will probably seem imperfect when you talk to them. The best drawings are simple. Special things can seem plain. The voyage to the sun is inside you.”

“A good bus rider likes to take the bus, looking out the window, talking to others on the way. The trip on the bus is fun; it is not just about getting there. A good painter tries to think about what she is feeling inside her imagination, her thoughts. It is not just about painting what something looks like. A good science student likes thinking about ideas, tries to find out how things work. It is not just about learning one tiny piece of the universe.”
