Living The Wisdom of The Tao
Verse 79

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 79.


              Be A Giver

              Be
                     a
                  Giver,
            always extending
              kindness, love,
                   and
              forgiveness.

                    Be
                     a
                  Giver,
        gently letting go of
           resentment, hurt
                   and
                 anger.

             Like the calm,
                 forgives
                 the storm;
                 Fear not,
                forgiveness...
                For yourself,
                    and
                 for others.

                     Be
                      a
                   Giver,
                seeking only
               service, peace,
                     and
                  harmony.

                     For
               authentic love,
             comes beautifully
              from your heart,
                  by simply
                     Being
                        a
                     Giver.

Live. Inspired.
