Living The Wisdom of The Tao
Verse 34.

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 34.

                               The Great Way


                         To accomplish, with purpose,
                      and without recognition or acclaim,
                      is the true path of  "the Great Way."

                   To realize a new perception and outlook,
                          that accumulation and attention,
                     are not the qualities of  "the Great Way."

                             All-encompassing and inclusive,
                                 living without expecting,
                is the alignment and the truth of  "the Great Way."

                           To see the world and all it's beauty,
                  perfect in nature, it demands nothing in return,
            only appreciation, care, and respect of  "the Great Way."

                      To listen intently, to the pureness of it's message,
                                unfolding, quietly, peacefully,
                        and in perfect harmony with  "the Great Way."

                     For to discover this new definition of "Greatness,"
                                is to (truly) understand all that is...
                                             "the Great Way."

Live Inspired.
