The amazing creator Vivienne Westwood passed away yesterday. I just wanted to share some of her words and her guiding belief in Taoism as a spiritual compass which formed the foundation for her own life.

“Tao spiritual system. There was never more need for the Tao today. Tao gives you a feeling that you belong to the cosmos and gives purpose to your life; it gives you such a sense of identity and strength to know you’re living the life you can live and therefore ought to be living: make full use of your character and full use of your life on earth.”

And this:

“You’ve got to invest in the world, you’ve got to read, you’ve got to go to art galleries, you’ve got to find out the names of plants. You’ve got to start to love the world and know about the whole genius of the human race. We’re amazing people.”

Such a beautiful spirit that touched so many people in this world.
