Loving the Tao of Laozi

When women were without say or station whether at birth ("on the ground") or widowed Always under the authority of men or a son Master Kong was advised, Go with the flow -WU- By none other than the "old boy" Lao Tzu Schools and civil service can take one thus far Know deeply that bees and flowers arise mutually And the Tao is having your say, without saying much "The Tao that can be spoken, is not the eternal Tao" O speak thou rivers and waters, teach us to flow! Seeking the lowest places, that human beings abhor To lead without being seen as a leader Avoid complaining about rulers, Master Kong Thank God, the Toa is not the LOGOS Although the Tao goes everywhere, even to kings "It loves and nourishes all things … lays no claim." No LORD and Creator is the Tao; undefined Only the way to be free of KARMA, selfish action To Master Kong's YANG, Laozi is the complementary YIN The Buddha discovered every cause hides a dozen causes

I like that. Eastern philosophy rocks. I have a fig tree, but do not take the time to sit under it. I believe the Tao is very modern (post modern) and looking back is the new way forward. Kind wishes, Kai
