Living the Wisdom of the Tao.
Verse Three.

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 the
"Tao" (pronounced "Dao") was written by the prophet "Lao-tzu"
some five hundred years before the birth of Christ. The interpretation
of the word Tao is "The Way"...Te is "The Shape and The 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 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 Three.


                                       "Contentment"

Practice gratitude, within...trusting, and not doing;
while serving others;
finding all...and that, which we know is complete.
Your Contentment in life.
Being. Feeling, Content...with the eternal Tao;
allowing, trusting, the guidance;
from Your Source,
and (that) of all creation, "showing,"
"The Way"... to that place, of higher principle;
trusting, allowing,  the "all" that is within
to become empty, yet full;
and in total harmony, with the beauty that is pure, and perfect...
"Intention."
We hear, Your calling. Like the swaying palm,
gratefully accepting,
the warm breezes of a gentle afternoon;
happy, and in awe, for all that is;
while doing nothing more, than
Allowing. Listening, and watching,
the extraordinary connection, that is, peaceful energy, and Love.
Complete, trust. And happiness.
Making Your choice, to embrace the revelation of Contentment;
feeling it, in this moment, and in the deepest sense,
Knowing. "The Tao."

Live. Inspired.
