I was curious to learn more about this after Phil introduced this earlier this week.  Here are a few links on it for anyone interested in a bit of reading:

As yes. Taoism fits very nicely with Aikido. I have an edition of "Tao te Ching" that actually mentions Aikido in the authors preface.

This principle has become extremely important to me as I try to practice it more and more. I find it is an excellent fit for attitude training during randori classes, and just in general practice as well. It changes your mind, allows you to focus on the event or situation, rather than focusing on the outcome.

Oh, the outcome is important. But it truly becomes secondary with a good attitude and healthy mind-intent. We'll investigate this more as the days roll onward.
