TAO
In
and out with every breath,
Subtle
and naive,
The
Tao lives on forever,
Eternally
conceived.
Yin
and yang, black and white,
Duality
drops out;
Relativity
comes to one,
Absolutely
is the Tao.
In
flux and flow is Nature's Way,
Essential
to all Being,
The
universal rhythm,
The
meaning of our seeing.
Paradox
has its place,
Settled
in the Tao,
Unity
in infinite ways
Infinity:
here and now.
The
creative Force within all Beauty,
The
Beauty in the Spirit,
The
Spirit of our kinship love,
The
bliss of those who fear it.
When
one tries to grasp it,
It
eludes the reasoning mind,
But those who understand it,
Claim there's no greater find.
It
is more yielding than the water,
Yet
stronger than all man,
More
revealing and much wiser,
Than
the smartest in the land.
A
humbled way may draw it near ,
silent
manner keeps it here,
Knowledge
of it withstands fear:
The
Tao is the Way of Life.
