TAO IS Me

The tao is a secret.

Secret is tao.

If you know about it,

it's no longer tao.

Be a secret keeper,

one with the tao.

.
The tao is waiting for you.

If you don't give yourself

to the service of the world,

you'll never know tao.

The tao is ever-giving.

.
The tao is like a flower blooming

giving off its beauty

and radiance

to the world, not taking.

And then it just

quietly wilt away.

The tao is like the river water

meandering,

                             twisting,

                                                  t

                                                        u

                                                                 r

                                                            n

                                                       i

                                                   n

                                                             g,

                                                                     flowing

Such a long journey only to return back to the same one true source.

The tao is like the ocean

surrounding the fishes. 

But the tao is not the water.

It is the calmness, supporting,

life-giving aspect of it.

.
The tao is like the cup

that holds the tea.

But the tao is not the cup.

The tao is the nature

of the cup.

.
The tao is like a

mountain,

tall, unyielding.

Many try to climb

not knowing

whether they

reach the peak.

I'll let it come

to me.



.

The tao is like

the nurturing sun,

illuminating

the day.

And casting it's rays

to the yielding moon,

not forgetting

to illuminate

the other side.



.

The tao is like

that of a

secret lover

who loves

anonymously

and unconditionally.

Ecstasy's eternal.

Will you taste or

will you
