  Living the Wisdom of the Tao
 Verse Four




Through the inspirations of my spiritual mentor Dr. Wayne Dyer,
I have undertaken this year, (as he did in 2006), the teachings of the
eighty-one verses of the "Tao Te Ching." Legend says that the Tao,
(pronounced "Dao") was written by the prophet "Lao-tzu" some
five hundred years before the birth of Christ. The interpretation of the
words Tao is "The Way" Te is "The Shape and Power" and Ching is
"The Book." It has been called "one of the profoundest books in world
philosophy." For my references I have been studying the interpretations and
teachings of Dr. Dyer from his book "Change Your Thoughts - Change 
Your Life." In the spirit of Eagle Eye, here is my inspired (poetic) interpretation
of Verse Four.

                                                    Infinite.

Living the Infinite, hidden...but always, present.
Limitless, unmeasured. Emptiness unquantified;
yet it's profoundness, accessible.
Always, and in gratitude,
to The Source of The Eternal Tao. 
Bottomless and beautiful, appearing, as creative energy flowing.
Guided in it's knowing, of everything that is present, invisible, yet already here.
Infinitely "one" with spirit, inspired by a sense of peace, joy, and harmony.
An endless supply of "well being," working with, and through... You.
Your partner of purpose; viewing, observing, and sharing "all" of it's Wisdom.
Known, and yet... still, Unknown.
Like an endless ocean, stretched, for as far as the eye "can" see,
Reflecting;
skyward, to a heaven of clear blue, beyond that which "can't" be seen,
and only... Imagined.
Be silent, and listen.
Feel, and connect Yourself to it's peace and tranquility;
for it does not ask of Your response.
Infinite knows that You are everything;
and Loves that you are already, and  always...
Living... There.

Live. Inspired.
