Living the Wisdom of the Tao.
Verse 66



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 66.

            Being - Like the Sea

                    Remain low
                                -Being-
                              Like the Sea
                               and know
                                humbly
                          what it feels to be
                                at peace
                       accepting, harmonious,
                                   and
                                   free.

                           Encourage, accept,
                                  -Being-
                                Like the Sea
                                 with calm
                               and patience,
                              a quiet teacher                        
                             for all the world
                                       to
                                      see.

                          Allow, and give into,
                                   -Being-
                                 Like the Sea
                                   and love,
                                   in service;
                              caring, nurturing
                                  as naturally
                                  as you can
                                         be.

Live. Inspired.
