Living The Wisdom of The Tao.
Verse 31.

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 (poetic) interpretation of
Verse 31.


                         Weaponless


           Weapons, the tools of violence.
       Detest and disdain to all those who support the fight.
        For peace is the only "Way" to the quiet man's heart.


           Lay down your weapons...and see the "Way"
           The "Tao's Way" to a life connected in spirit.


            Weapons, the source to all things destructive.
              Death, destruction, and the forces that kill.
 For only the ever-giving "Way" is the path to love and compassion.


            Lay down your weapons... and see the "Way"
The "Tao's Way" of life, love, and the divinity of wisdom and reason.


             Weapons, represent war, hate, and combat. 
                    Decimate, decree, and destroy.
 Become weaponless, forgiving, and in harmony with the world.


              Lay down your weapons... and see the "Way"
            And celebrate the joy of life that is human-kind;
                                  Weaponless.


Live. Inspired.
