Verse 51
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 51.
The Hidden Virtue
Unconscious, perfect, and free...
the hidden virtue.
Honour, and value, it always gives, without asking.
A quiet knowing, of what is pure, true, and meant to be.
Nourishing, nurturing, it shelters and protects...
the hidden virtue.
Does not posses, only grows, knows and fosters,
always produces, yet never needs, wants or expects.
Spontaneous, and responsible in every choice...
the hidden virtue.
Allows, expands, in all that it creates,
is free, and perfect... a oneness with the inner voice.
Like a true love surreal...
the hidden virtue.
is the gift, of strength, trust and patience,
the power of belief, together, with everything you feel.
Safe, and complete, in the beautiful Way...
the hidden virtue.
that lies in all of us....when we simply let go, trust and believe,
in what we know today... and every day;
the beauty that is the gift of
the hidden virtue.
Live. Inspired.
