Living The Wisdom of The Tao.
Verse 37.
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 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 37.

                          Simply


     Keep things simple, and sense the calm.
           Bite your tongue, zip your lips,
                and find nothing wrong.


      Do nothing... yet leave nothing undone.
               Living quietly and simply,
                  your universe as one.


         Replace desires with calm intent.
                Trusting in nature,
                for a life well spent.


         Peaceful and free, the simple life.
                observing and believing,
                  a world without strife.


   Allowing "The Way" to beautifully unfold. 
         Without interference or judgement, 
             the real truth, is "simply" told.
                        


Live. Inspired.
