The state of flow, eternal Tao
Dance in the ephemeral now
A Bound mind will not allow
A Joyous downward plow
Soft snow, honored thou
Its own meaning endow
Feet atop sacred bough 
Snow cut by skis’ prow
Let me show you how

Confucius say, so does Tao,
So does Jesus, there is no woe,
Don't send dick picks on our phones, 
Gal bloomers don't get thrown,
Disembodied , magnets not,
Do grow up, you little grots,
Stay in touch, Confucius say,
F... off our phones today,
So does your ex-wife, so yah!...

A-gawin sa apoy ngayon
P-ara maligtas ang tao; 
R-endahan ng katotohanan, 
I-layo sa diwang
L-ilo.

M-aulan at malamig
A-ng Hulyo dalawampu't walo; 
R-umagasa man ang tubig
A-y hindi ka maaano.
S-agipin sa pagkapahamak, 
I-sipan nila'y nalason; 
G-intong aral ang gamitin, 
A-gawin sa apoy
N-gayon....

health-care optimization theories.

Restoring macro-global cooperative wealth
without retributive individual micro-ecological loss
of resilient wealthy Yang/Yin health....

Yon I see a stream
That dancing down dwells in now
And all my thoughts seem
To beauty of Nature bow
And flow with the flow of Tao.

Note: Woo-Wei:  Taoist philosophy meaning non-action or refraining from acting contrary to Nature and dwelling in now. It is going against the grain of things.

TAO 
Tao 
To Flagstaff 

Jesus 
moneyless 
homeless 
hateless 
how can I really hate you 
if I am numb and there are icicles 
in me 
how can I really hate you 
as much as you deserve particles 
of dust 
motes smoteing freely forming 
in all of the city 
dirty city 
Love gone 
Jesus 
TAO

Did I plant bamboo for the green?
Did I plant bamboo for the white?

When snow suggests that it
lean,
it's tippy-tops aren't at heavenward height
but, rather curled and frozen
somewhere between
the snow-clouds and snowdrifts.
These icicly moments of serene
are not only moments but rites;
snow-gifts.

So, green or white
white or green
it's bendy Kung Fu
serenes this milieu....

Love cannot be bought
Peace cannot be commanded
Silence is the key -
When actions    or the lack of
Speak out with silent wisdom

When man understands
All life has an equal part
Has a primal share
Then with unselfish ardor
Goes about his chosen work

Always outpouring
Never commanding    silent
Not seeking greatness
Greatness lay in humbleness
A man's deeds speak for themselves...

IF YOU WANT TO BE A ZEN MASTER

If you want to be
a Zen Master to live
the Tao follow a cow.
When cow is hungry
it munches grass no matter
green or dry as hay. When
thirsty the cow drinks, when
tired the cow lays down
taking a break to meditate,
standing stares at the field
as blank as if the world
of words didn't exist. All
just is as it is and that
is Zen with nothing to call
at all. Only moo is cow....

wu wei is the path of Tao
of going with the flow of nature
a metaphor of water
which adapts to any shape
always flowing
always yielding
soft, yet in time can cut
and shape rock

                       a lesson of Tao
