The Te of Piglet

Piglet? Yes, Piglet. For the better than impulsive Tigger? or the gloomy Eeyore? or the intellectual Owl? or even the lovable Pooh? Piglet herein demonstrates a very important principle of Taoism: The Te – a Chinese word meaning Virtue – of the Small.

My childhood was defined by my love for anthropomorphic stories like Wind in the Willows, Animal Farm, and Peter Rabbit but my favourite by far has always been Winnie the Pooh. For a student of philosophy, returning to Hundred Acre Wood is both a source of comfort and a sense of warmth.
