The Tao is unteachable.
Only learnable.
The Tao is passive.
The Tao is fluid.
If you are to become Tao
you must be unassertive
and indifferent.
In order to move forward,
you must step back.
In order to learn new things,
you must forget.
Embody the yin and yang.
Do not lean towards action.
Be unmoving
yet flexible.
I really like your use of oxymorons and how much you seemed to use the strategies in the Tao poems we read
ReplyDeleteI liked how you emphasized the Tao as a passive power.
ReplyDeleteI really like your third stanza. I like the theme you chose of stepping back and letting go.
ReplyDeleteI like how the poem is organized. I like how you took lots of influence from the poems read in class
