The eternity of the Tao
Lies in the roots of nature
The blazing flames of civilization
Its serene waters
Rebirth of roses in bloom
The prowl of a snowy leopard
To uncover its truth,
Be inquisitive, curious
Follow a path of wisdom
Find simplicity in the mind
A state of nothingness
Accept the darkness within
On the venture to find peace
The Tao nourishes our very universe
Restores the balance
And completes life as we know it
We must return to the source, the Tao

ReplyDeleteYour first paragraph has great use of contradictory words that put images in my mind. You really made it clear that nature is the origin of Tao.
