Tao Te Ching

I am just back from San Francisco after three weeks of traveling and ran into a man, on my last night, who teaches Indian singing and instrumentation. He shared with me these wise words from the Tao Te Ching:

"A good traveler has no fixed plans
and is not intent upon arriving" (27)

OR (a different translation)

"The skillful traveler leaves no traces of his wheels or
footsteps" (27)

Then there is:

"Without stirring abroad
One can know the whole world...
Therefor the sage knows without having to stir." (47)

Finally, there is

"If a country is governed wisely,
its inhabitants will be content.
They enjoy the labor of their hands
and don't waste time inventing
labor-saving machines.
Since they dearly love their homes,
they aren't interested in travel.
There may be a few wagons and boats,
but these don't go anywhere.
There may be an arsenal of weapons,
but nobody ever uses them.
People enjoy their food,
take pleasure in being with their families,
spend weekends working in their gardens,
delight in the doings of the neighborhood.
And even though the next country is so close
that people can hear its roosters crowing and its dogs barking,
they are content to die of old age
without ever having gone to see it." (80)

How do these relate to the Clotheslines Across America Tour and the large amount of travel being done by "climate activists and scientists" in the name of saving the planet?
