Living The Wisdom of The Tao
Verse 23.

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 23.


                        Naturally


            Allowing the power of nature
                     is to simply let things flow.
                    Be observant of her energy
     always in harmony with the constant states of change.

                   For nature does not force,
                          insist, or push.
       Every wind subsides, every rising sea returns,
    and every dark cloud (eventually) replaced by light.

              Conform this life with naturalness
        and see all the beauty that is this natural "way."
           Trust and be at peace with every storm.
                       Be still and patient
  and rejoice in all that comes to this universe of living;
                            Naturally.

Live. Inspired.
