Living The Wisdom of The Tao. 
Verse 41.

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 41.


                               Beyond Appearances


                        Look way beyond, what only "seems" true.
                    Where easy is hard, and what's old is (now) new.


                  Where "accustomed" still resonates within you as real.
                       A shift in your thoughts, is how you (now) feel.


                     Your "experiences" different than they appear to be.
                       The truth's (so) much more, for those who can see.


                        In peace and harmony it's "secrets" obscure.
                           Trusting and allowing it (simply) endures.


                        For to truly connect, and to "change" how you think.
                     Is to understand the paradox, and to (believe) in that link...
                                          Beyond Appearances.


Live. Inspired.
