Today's Tao
This is called being one with Dark Depth. (Ch.56)
Dark Depth is 玄 [gen] in Japanese ([hsüan] in Chinese).
Originally it meant the color of reddish black which you got after having put together a few layers of colors.
The color symbolizes something deep and inexplicable.
"Dark Depth" is a synonym for Tao.
Therefore, 玄同 [gen dō], being one with Dark Depth, is the same as being one with Tao.
No matter what you are, whether you are dust or an [excrement] scraper, you are Tao.
In this chapter 56, Lao Tzu gives us some tips to remember the fact.
Don't worry and do nothing.

Tao answers your question!
☞Now the sport is internationally know as Judo. It was not the case at the beginning of its modern development. Contrary to what most of us imagine, the word "Judo" has a relatively brief history. The magical art of man-to-man combat was first called "Yawara", which means being soft. "Yawara no michi". This is the expression that provokes an unequivocal affection towards the sport among the Japanese. A Japanese Judy Garland, Hibari Misora
, sang "Yawara" and an industrious Japanese cartoonist, Naoki Urasawa
drew "Yawara", which led a real-life girl to start practicing this "Soft Tao / Judo". Having won a few Olympic medals, the girl is now a stateswoman who occupies a seat in Japan's House of Councilors.
