Tao # 21 / The Way
Ф
True virtue is found through The Way
it is the best gift
yet hard to grasp,
intangible
like the mote in your eye
elusive
a form that will not be touched
hard to see, obscure
yet substantial
in essence
genuine essence
yielding reliable belief
timeless
as in
beginning
eternal
now
ever
always demonstrating
eternal creation
How do we know this?
By this.
Taos Tao #21 ~
Creation
Ф
effortless
performance
Indistinct and shadowy
yet having an image
seed in the dark
containing plant potential
tangible yet elusive
like a dream
containing images
which exist
yet melt away with waking
Divine Tao, source of all being
power at the root of all things
who can define God?
God is everything
But beyond everything
primitive minds
will try to find
God in a book
or a line
God is beyond the senses
yet God fills all that is
