Living The Wisdom of The Tao.
Verse 64.
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 64.

Foresight... In the Here and Now.

Act before things exist;
see with Foresight,
and know that it is always,
In the Here and Now.

A building starts with the very first brick;
the job itself (already done),
when the decision is made,
to first begin.

The journey of a thousand miles;
begins with only one step,
attention and care to reach the end,
is only be achieved by seeing a start.

For everything is possible;
right from here,
by being present, awake,
conscious, and looking ahead.

Anticipate and prevent;
before challenges arrive,
Acting before negativity,
and disorder arise.

One step, one moment;
One day at a time.
Scattering the small,
in Foresight...
In the Here and Now.

Live. Inspired.

Raymond Paul
