Living The Wisdom of The Tao.
Verse 11.

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 11.

                                   Centre.

The mysterious Centre,
that invisible void.
The core of
"being,"
surrounded by it's grace of,
"non-being."
Allowing, without trying...
All that Is;
while constantly, embracing...
All that is Not.
It's silent awareness,
an inner state of purity and truth.
A subtle energy of knowing....and understanding,
that without it's Centre, there is no
Self.
Like the human body, a complexity of all it's parts,
it does not become it's physical;
without it's Central essence,
(radiating)
from the middle of itself.
For everything...
is nothing...
Without it's Centre.
A balance between,
inner and outer,
seen and unseen,
harmonious, and in balance,
within the core within it's;
Centred Source.

Live. Inspired.
