Living The Wisdom of The Tao. 
Verse 43.

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 interpretations 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 43.


                         Softly


                  Softly is,
                 the art of all non-action.
            The gracefulness of a delicate dance.
             The soft touch of an artist's brush.


                      Softly overrides,
                 the hardness of all things.
        At one with nature, and the environment.
    Like the gentle rains, it's water trickles everywhere.


                        Softly enters,
         slowly, to places that cannot be seen.
     Naturally, effortlessly, and peacefully it flows.
 Yet with power, strength and wisdom... it always knows.


                         Softly is,
           a calm, and quiet without force.
      Like the writer who trusts, and is patient.
        Allowing the words to simply come...
                          Softly.


Live. Inspired.
