Living The Wisdom of The Tao.
Verse 61.

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 61.

                "Remain Low"

                     Stoop,
                             and
                       -remain low-
                 like the mighty ocean,
                        powerful
                             and
                             free.

                     Quietly observe,
                              and
                         -remain low-
                     feeling the energy,
                         of humility, 
                         and stillness 
                            within.

                          Stay calm,
                              and
                         -remain low-
                     sense the strength,
   like the water that simply flows "downstream"
                              and
                           settles in.

                          Be patient,
                               and
                         -remain low-
                         lean into life,
                 forever trusting, believing,
                                and
                        Remaining Low.

Live. Inspired.
