Living The Wisdom of The Tao. 
Verse 56.


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 56.

                           Silent Knowing

                               Know in silence,
                       and let go of your attachment,
                              to the spoken word.

                              Resist the temptation,
                            to pontificate on others, 
                   for when you do... you do not know.

                         Listen and Live in the light,
                                 of silent knowing,
             and feel the balance of your harmonic centre.

                                  Remain quiet,
                         and breathe the surreal calm,
               that beholds your "highest" inner awareness.

                                 Notice, observe,
          and allow the softness of your tender underside,
                    to open, embrace, and humbly share,
                                          in a
                                         most
                                     beautiful,
                                     peaceful,
                                        and
                                silent knowing.

Live. Inspired.
