Living The Wisdom of The Tao. 
Verse 48.

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 48.

                           Decreasing


                          When nothing
                                  is done...
                               then nothing
                                   is left,
                                  undone.


                               Let things go
                               their own way.
                             The way of living
                                       by;
                                  Decreasing.


                                Experience
                            a greater sense of,
                               completeness...
                          doing the opposite of,
                          what you have pursed,
                                     so far.


                                Decreasing
                               your reliance,
                                 on things...
                                  Releasing
                    yourself from your attachments
                                       by;
                                  Decreasing. 


                                    See all
                                 that is natural
                                 in your world;
                                       Free
                                of accumulation,
                                    by simply:
                                   Decreasing.


                                 When nothing
                                      is done...
                                  then nothing,
                                      is left,
                                     undone.


Live. Inspired.
