Living the Wisdom of The Tao.

Verse Eight.

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 Eight.

                                Flowing.

Life sustaining. Flowing, like water.

It moves, with (all) things;

Providing, nourishing, and knowing,

it's place in Nature. 

Present, and in harmony;

Pure in it's existence, 

it flows,

seeking it's own level of truth, 

and understanding.

Going, without judging, or concern;

It flows.

Gentle, kind, equal, 

and in accordance with "the way."

Knowing it's intended place, and purpose.

Open-minded, and receptive to it's, 

Calling.

Like the spring run-off of a distant mountain;

it's energy is free... to simply;

Flow.

Bear witness to it's beauty.

The peaceful allowing,

of thoughts, actions, and love;

Flowing,

without effort,
through you;

To others.

Live. Inspired.
