Living The Wisdom of The Tao.
Verse 13.

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 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 13.

                       Independent.


            The independent mind seeks,
                           not that,
                  the opinion of others,
                    but it's own truth;
                    Eternal, essential,
                 and perfectly aligned...
      Nourished, and in balance with it's "Way"
                            Devine.
           Flow freely, independent Source.
                Trust in the invisibleness,
          and the beauty of the immeasurable,
                               within...
                         the inner soul.
                 Every passionate thought,
                                is Spirit,
          in harmony with the uniqueness of
                              it's nature.
                 Honour the independent...
                        the natural essence,
                    and envision yourself...
                         as the guardian
                     of independent love,
                      peace and harmony,
                                for all
                                "Life."

Live. Inspired.
