Living The Wisdom of The Tao.
Verse 52

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 52.

                     Returning to the Beginning


                Seeing everything small is clarity,
                                            when
                             returning to the beginning.
                      Being in touch with who you truly are,
              is the beauty (of dreams) that you see in every star.

                  Flexible the strength filled with radiant light,
                                             when
                               returning to the beginning.
                    Where all creations are birthed, and emerge,
                        not seen, nor felt, in it's silent surge.

                   From the constant invisible which sustains all things,
                                              when
                                returning to the beginning.
            It remains, unavailable, and mysterious, to our every sense,
                       the peaceful witness to a present tense.

                        No-thing is separate from Mother Earth
                                              when
                                 returning to the beginning.
                        Every-thing a one, in silence, and in awe,
          to all that is eternal, and perfect... an existence without flaw.
                                           

                            Like hearing... without listening.
                               saying... without speaking.
                               seeing... without looking.
                                                 or
                              knowing... without thinking.
                                   You can never truly be
                                              Living,
                                     without a conscious,
                                  returning to the beginning.

Live. Inspired.
