Living the Wisdom of the Tao
Verse Two

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 interpretations
of the 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 Two.


                      "Unity"


Living in a state of "Unity" is the gift.
A knowing. A Unity, between all that is...and all that is not.
Effortless action; in harmony, and without judgement.
Living. Without trying, and in peace with the eternal "Tao."
Like the ocean's waves, arriving; on an endless shore;
then receding, back, to the "Unity of One" with the sea. Again.
Unified, whole, and as it has always; Been.
For the back and forth, the to and fro; simply, happens.
With nothing implied; nor a thing expected.
Observe the mystery of this wonder, and let it lift your heart.
Filled, with love, and truth. Simply letting yourself (just) Be.
All "One." And "One" All.
"Unified."


Live. Inspired.
