Living The Wisdom of The Tao.
Verse 40.

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 40.  


                              Yield... and Return


                        Yield... and Return
                                  the motion is the way.
                        Happy, content... and grateful for each day.


                                     Yield... and Return
                             the principles of your existence.
                 It's spirit gives life... the object of your persistence. 


                                      Yield... and Return
                      to that place where "everything" came from.
                  Honest, and humble... there's nothing to be done.
                 
                          Yield... and Return
                                  each moment... each day.
                     Being... by non-being - is the sage's only way.


                                       Yield... and Return
                          regaining the power of your Source.                                      
             merging into oneness... you find your creative force.


                                        Yield... and Return
                                       life peacefully goes.
                     In balance, and harmony... it perfectly flows.


Live. Inspired.
