The Tao of Willie.

Willie Nelson--cowboy, poet, outlaw--is also a philosopher as I discovered reading The Tao of Willie.

Says the singer/songwriter:  There is no single definition of the Tao, but I like to think of it as finding a balance between resistance and surrender.

There are many sage nuggets in this small volume such as: 

I believe the truth is found in your own heart.  The trick is to shut up and listen.  The trick is to believe.

There's too much and too little.

Still is still moving to me.  http://mayamystic.wordpress.com/2011/04/19/tsalagi-tale-who-wins/

And my favorite:

Ninety-nine percent of the world's lovers are not with their first chocie.  That's what makes the jukebox play.
